Alright yall here is my dilema! The land that I've been hunting this year is bordered by a large tract of set-a-side ground. I know it use to be hunted a few years ago but haven't heard or saw anyone over there this year. I'm wanting to put up a shooting house in the back field. This field is the one that borders the set-a-side ground and if I do it right I'll be able to see some of the neighbors field! Now the field that is on my side is used heavily as a Ag field so the chance to plant it as a food plot is gone! But I do have permission to do whatever I want to do on the edges! I thought about a salt lick but I want something they can use all year around! I guess what I'm hoping for is something that will become habit forming to them but at the same time give them some extra minerals too! I thought about the Mineral Mix that is pinned on the top of the main page but I wanted to hear yall's thoughts first!

Thx for any help

actually, a food plot is a good idea.

Unless the guy plants corn, a winter plot would be ideal. If he plants soybeans, they stop using them after they die.

Can you plant your field in corn also and bushhog it? That would be like spreading 1000000 pounds of shelled corn all over your field lol.

Wish I could plant a food plot on it, but I feel lucky just being able to hunt it! Askin a farmer to hand over a acre for me to plant a food plot would be askin alot! If he does what he normally does Corn will be planted this spring! Wheat will follow in the fall and the beans will be planted the following summer! The deer have several trails going into the field so I know they are there!

Find there 'entrance route' and call it a day Use trai lcameras to figure this out, and nwo is the best time to do it-after season ends-

Sounds like the farmer is putting in your food plots for you. Talk to the farmer and see if you can purchase some standing crop from him. He should know what the yeild of the field is and what the going rate for what ever crop he has planted. Pay him to leave an acre or two standing, I would think if you go with cash in hand he will be more likely to work with you. Also do as Daryl suggested, find the deer's travel routes into the fields.

Geez what a typo nut I am I need a keyboard- but I'm too cheap, I bet this board hit a ga-zillion key strokes the past few years- we can go target practice with it
