Hoss74,
Along the west line, just south of the 30% wooded part, there appears to be several trees large enough to conceal any type of blind, stand or shooting house. It appears you may have some close neighbors on the east side and west side, so your food plot would need to be for your benefit and not where it would be a temptation to an unethical neighbor. The 40 acres of what appears to be planted pines, north and west of your place, would likely hold some deer and a food plot close to it would probably be a draw for them. Getting to know your adjoining property owners attitudes will be a big help in deciding what to do, you might luck out and find that non of them hunt or you might be like some of us that are surrounded by rogues! Can't tell from the map what type of trees are on your place, but if they are oaks you may already have the makings of a good spot to hunt. Lots of folks have good success fertilizing oaks for increased mast production.

Looks like your tree line makes sort of a "bow". I would plant a food plot along that area right up next to the tree line. The natural curve/contour of the tree line will conceal it some from your neighbors. Kinda need more details

Honestly, I have only been out there once. I took my truck threw the perimeter of the property cause it was cold and rainy and my wife wanted to stay dry. I am going to walk it this weekend maybe. Those trees behind the property are not pine. Mostly a mixture.
If anybody is looking for property in North Central area near live Oak fl, we also saw some acreage out there. I saw lots of BIG tracks with spread toes so must be good sized deer there. Lots of deer feces etc. I would have loved that property, but they wanted 5 thousand more and was twenty miles further from my job, which in my 16mpg truck would be about $300 more a month in gas just to go to work. Much as it was tempting, I could lease a place for that much.

We out Sunday and put more corn out under the shed trap and camera and check to see how the plot was growing. Got some pictures from the camera and took some of the plot growing in. The peas and clover are coming up nicely and so far there aren't many tracks or damage to the plot. My camera is starting to have a shutter speed problem....i only got a couple pictures that weren't half black or all black after dark.

This guy is becoming a regular!

I checked the plot Sunday the deer and turkey are in there but didn't get any pictures. So i moved the camera to a better spot and put some more corn out. I might put some more fertilizer out this weekend to give the plot a break.
