Figured it would have about 10,000 logs, cars and garbage in it after all the rain.

By the way, does anyone remember Tallfeather? That's his family's property right in the foreground. We've both seen some whopper bucks right there.

Did I ever show you that HUGE buck in that field? A monster for sure.

He was standing by the island that they removed. Great buck, never heard if anyone ever killed him or not.

That island of trees used to be a major buck bedding area. Too bad they removed it while constructing the new bridge.
Tallfeather used to get amazing trail-cam pics under the old bridge as bucks used that route instead of crossing the road.

Yep, THAT is a food plot!
Anyone having hunting land within a mile of any border to that would mostly be wasting their time and money with small-scale food plots?

Small-scale summer plots, yes. Winter plots, no.

I agree, but as to the value of small-scale winter plots,
that may have more to do with the acorn crop.
I'm trying to get some real "economic" value from any food plots, and it remains my opinion that most small-scale food plotters could get more value from their dollars and labor efforts by focusing more on habit changes than what or how many relatively expensive food plots they're maintaining.
If a hunter's main goal from "food-plotting" is to kill "bigger" bucks, I suspect most could get better results by doing nothing more than just raising their personal standards a notch (regarding what constitutes as "shooter") and hunting as far away as possible from any food plots.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, right now, I'm MAKING considerable money from my habitat changes (cutting patches of timber to produce more natural browse and cover).

While collecting pictures for our book Deer Management 101, I needed example pics of large-scale agriculture. These are the pics I took. Look familiar? (taken from the same location as Football Hunter's pic).

Same here! I'm looking at it as we are getting paid to have better hunting. It's a win-win sitation. Timber is selling high in my area and the trail-cams are catchin some dandy's!

Those agri fields look like a night time big buck hangout. There
is no telling what kind of visions the TWRA's heat camera could
pick up there.
