After a 20 year layoff I started hunting again last year. Usually just put out corn and apples. I have even hung a bag of apples from a mesh sack on a limb above the ground to attract deer and it seems to work good.
This September I plant a small section for a food plot to see how it would do and it looks good. I had left the fence up around the garden area since the deer would have destoryed the food plot before it had a chance to grow.
My question is: The food plot seems to be established good. I usually hunt this area when gun season starts the week of Thanksgiving (bow hunt around the oaks on other parts of the property). I was thinking about taking the fence down a week before Thanksgiving. Should I wait till then or take it down now?
I have a lot of tracks in the field but they have not crossed into the food plot. We have tons of acorns right now and they are eating those.
Thanks,
David
