It will work. Almost all the plots I've planted in the last 5 years were done similarly. Some with the help of the lawn mower to clear the ground and some with just hard work. I've never planted that type of see in a plot but you can fertilize as you've stated, even doing it a couple of times lightly. The deer don't mind at all. If you get a lot of leaves on it this fall just run the mower over it again and blow them off/ chop them up. The deer will appreciate it. As a bonus any acorns falling in the plot will be easy pickings and the deer will gravitate to it. Hope you have great sucess!

I always hear folks who hunt over food plots and feeders were lazy
I hope you kill a big one

Keep a eye on Tractor supply stores. They blow seed out at the end of the season dirt cheap. That's where I buy mine.

I did almost this exact thing years ago before I had a tractor...
I used a "deer mix" of Milo, red and ladino clovers, sorghum and soybeans... Worked well but I could not make the plot big enough...

I just put down a mixture of "green wildlife mix" I bought at MFA ($25 for 50#),
Sorry, but I don't understand: what is an MFA? That sounds like a great mixture.

Nice job. I am clearing areas for small plots too, but I am removing established trees. A bit of work, plus I live four hours away from this spot (I hope to retire on this spot in the next three years). I can tell you this. . when you are done and it is working, it makes you feel really good.
Great job

I have a spot mowed in my back field behind the house that I hope to get something planted in it soon.

That is the same mix type I usad as a upland bird mix.
I hope the place gets sun or you may need to cut the canopy open.
If they have not started to grow take your mower and compress the seed in the soil with the tires by over lappping them or a roller for good seed soil contact.
A late plot is as been said oats with clover in for latter.
Shot many morning doves off my plot and there were birds and deer in it all winter.
Nice job.
