[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5850876, member: 1409"] Not at all a fact, although some people do think that's what they're doing. [B]Deer are typically already in the area. If they're not, no deer will ever come to your plot.[/B] Wildlife food plots primarily serve to augment nutrition for wildlife, often targeting specific species such as deer & turkeys, while most wildlife is benefitted rather than harmed by a single "spot" bait pile pile or feeder. Having been in a very large private hunting club for decades, I can tell you most of the mature bucks that have been taken, have not been taken over a food plot. The plots are "pretty", but mainly a food supplement, not a primary food source. Older deer mainly use them under the cover of darkness, and again, mainly as a supplement (think "dessert") to whatever else they're [I]BROWSING[/I] around on in the broader area. Deer are [I]BROWSERS. [/I]They naturally eat or feed[I] "on the move".[/I] They do not naturally hang around any one "spot", not even any one small "area", unless man has done something to restrict their movements, and/or prevent them from "browsing" a large area for varied food sources.
