    Default Wagon wheel food plot layout

    When in doubt, shoot him again!

    Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!

    I have several similar to that and they work well. The more "edge" a food plot has, the more comfortable they are in using them.

    I promise you would have to grease your chair to hunt that stand. That is the only issue with a 360 even a 180. Lots of times a buck will cross those and your head is the total opposite direction or in this case behind you. I agree with everything he says, just saying you're making it harder on your self. I'm all for the concept but keep it all 45degrees and strait in front of you.
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    I agree with SW. We have them and keep them at about 45 degrees and use three spokes. More than that makes it difficult to hunt from a wind standpoint.

    I have several that I have built on two properties. One has 9 shooting lanes from 125-500 yards long. I have a tower stand that is 4 telephone poles and a staircase. I have killed several nice bucks that I have stories about on here. Many times I watch a deer travel across 6-7 of them. If you see a nice buck in one and can not get a shot, there is a good possibility that he will walk into another. One morning 2 years ago, I had a six point or better in 7 of the lanes at one time. I love the spoke stands, it keeps you awake and you see a lot of interesting things. I plant all the lanes in summer and winter smorgasboards and have a spin feeder and 2 gravity feeders in some lanes. I counted 23 rabbits last week from that stand at one time.
    I only hunt on days that end in "y"!

    I can’t believe I’m saying this…. But I agree 100%

    Thinning the woods around these. Pretty cool and elaborate layout.

    Edge is great and I love the premise but prefer the layout of a turkey foot VS the wagon wheel.
    I am a stickler for hunting the wind so if you're in the middle of a food plot, it's tough but with a turkey foot layout it's a winner.
    Keep it up Hunter, I love what you're doing here....

    We have a couple of "turkey foot" plots and they have worked well over the years. About 250 acres has been clear cut and was replanted a year ago. Trying to watch 360 degrees is a challenge. I focus on edges.
