I planted my first plot when I was your age, walk behind rototiller, it was about 20 ft by 40ft, I never saw a deer in it but got some great pics and a friend of my took his girlfreind, now wife their and shot one ith a bow and thats how it began for me. it all depends on the area your ploting but Id say Shot Plot would be a good option for you, spend time getting a good till on your ground and TAKE soil samples, ajust your ph apply the proper fert/lime and you should get between 12 and 20 inchs of growth if all goes well.
