If the woods around you are being hunted, I would try to find out what they shoot/cull before I made any decisions on what to let walk on property that small. JMO

The plot question is hard to answer not actually knowing how thick it is. If the size you mentioned is the largest you could do, I would just put out feeders instead of planting.

Fertilizing the oak trees is a good idea. (ignore the bama logo in respect to tree talk - i get my tree info from an auburn guy)

The Auburn Ag guy I talked to said that fertilizing the oaks helps them to produce sweeter acorns - that the deer prefer over the non fertilized trees.

here is some info I just found

The thing to remember is that all trees do not produce acorns each year, some produce one year and not another so you have to scout each year to find wich trees are producing.

I do think that fertilizing particular trees will increase the chances of them producing though.

And here is an article by a UT guy saying fertilizer has almost no impact. SO take all advice FWIW
