Has anybody had experience with a squid or octopus shaped food plot (circlular body with squiggly legs radiating off)?
I have a ~2 acre brushy field that is already screened in willow brush. I wanted to add a kill type plot off that and more potential food acreage. So, I was thinking of clearing the field except a divider strip down the middle, and then adding 4 linear food plots off that, each approximately 15yds x 100yds. Where the legs meet the circular plot is a 20ft elevation change to a flat area, so the main plot can’t see down the legs and vice versa. One side of the main plot/legs junction is a ¼ pond that helps reinforce that pinch. Also, I was hoping that the triangles between the legs would start my doe bedding, and make an ideal location for a cruising trail on the downwind side. I have really solid access from the south and the property is thick so I think I’d be able to sneak into the potential stand sites easily and have them be huntable shot distances for both crossbow and rifle.
Below is a drawing of what it would look like. The property is a 70acre rectangle with long edges running east to west
