How do I create a Food Plot or Area Shape?

Use the Food Plot and Area tools to know the exact acreage to help you calculate the amount of
seed, fertilizer, and chemicals for your plots. To create a Food Plot or Area Shape, follow the directions below.

1. On the tools button, that’s the plus hexagon on the right side of your map, tap Plot/Area and then
   begin placing points to create a perimeter.
2. In real time in the lower left corner, DeerCast will display the length of the perimeter along with the area. Once you’ve outlined your shape, tap End, then Save.
3. Now choose if you want to save the shape as a generic area or as a Food Plot.
   • If you select Area, you’ll be able to give it a name and a description. DeerCast will automatically populate perimeter length and area, as well as the date it was created. Tap Save when you’re finished.
   • If you select Food Plot, you’ll be given the same options you got with Area, but with the addition of a Crop field. This box has a drop-down menu that includes many commonly-planted food plot
     types to help you keep track of what’s in each of your plots.
4. To view previously created Food Plots and Areas, tap the Layer button in the upper right corner to turn on the Food Plot/Area layer.
