e said 12 acres so a food plot might not be a good idea as the surrounding hunters can just hunt the line to catch the deer coming in and get all the benefit of the plot without the work.

Oh, I read the other guys post about 100 acres.

Yeah, I'd ax the food plot idea and just find where the deer are passing through. Get a ladder stand and put on the trail. Clear out just enough for you to get a shot off.

I'd still consider putting out corn or rice bran so the deer will keep passing through. You have to do it on a consistent basis though.

Stay off of it with ATVs if possible.

If your neighbors have food plots close to the property line, try and hunt close to the edges.
