[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5296466, member: 20583"] I own property in Ohio where baiting is legal. Pouring out a pile of corn would be cheaper, more convenient, and more attractive than plots. Yet year after year I go through the work and expense of planting plots, and do not bait or run feeders. Plots are not bait. They are not the same thing, and I would argue if you're planting plots to use as bait, you're missing out on the biggest benefits of a plot. I run several sub acre plots and hunt over none of them. Where they differ from a corn pile is that the food is green and available 24/7. Once established, each small plot will become host to a family group of does who set up home next to it, especially if thick bedding already exists or is created. Not only does having multiple plots strategically scattered allow the property to house more deer, it keeps the groups separated, which doubly alleviates stress plus forces bucks to travel a circuit from doe house to doe house. This scenario cannot be possible with corn piles instead of plots. So again, they are not the same and do not necessarily serve the same purpose. [/QUOTE]
