[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5848887, member: 20583"] What does controlled baiting mean exactly? And I'd disagree about general purpose of a food plot. I have several and hunt none of them. Their purpose is to offer year round food source that isn't available naturally anywhere else in the area, which draws in and holds deer on/near the property. In winter when hunting season is over is when a plot really shines. Everything else is dead and brown but the deer still have green lush food. Not only does it keep deer utilizing my property but keeps them healthy and gives pregnant does an advantage over other deer that don't have such a source of winter nutrition. Healthy momma makes healthy fawn makes big racks at maturity. Baiting on the other hand offers zero nutrition outside of carbs and only happens during season for the purpose of hunting over. Once season ends the bait is no longer necessary, abruptly ending which leaves all the deer it attracted immediately with nothing. If not for the bait they'd have moved into more productive winter ground. So yes there is a very real difference between the purpose of plots vs bait. Unless you're putting supplemental feed out year round then baiting serves zero positive for the deer. Plots do. [/QUOTE]
