Food Plots for Wildlife
How large should a deer food plot be?
Hunting kill plots can be as small as 1/4 acre. Nutrition plots that meaningfully feed the herd should be 1-3+ acres each. Multiple smaller plots in different cover types outperform one large plot. Aim for 2-5% of total acreage in food plots for nutrition; smaller for hunting access plots.
