I have a 3/4 acre food plot on my
Property. I was thinking about having the timber cleared around it to make it around 6 acres or so. The timber is 15 year old pine so it shouldn't be too much trouble to clear with a dozer. My other options were to try and purchase a field but I would rather do it this way if it makes sense due to location, price, etc. My question is, is a 6 or so acre field “big enough”? I know it wont hold many people and I am not looking for that either. I was just wandering if that size field would work as far as producing good shoots? It seems most fields i have personally hunted on have been around 10-15 acres.
Anybody that has experience or thoughts on fields this size. I would love to hear them.
Also this field would be 600-700 yards from a 4 acre pond and surrounded by timber as mentioned above.
