[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5531937, member: 20594"] Agree...IF the end game is to only attract and kill deer....sure....both baiting and food plots both are designed to attract and hold more deer. Difference being year-round food plot programs benefit deer year-round where a corn feeder attracts deer (can't say it benefits them much) during the hunting season....if anyone thinks "deer corn" sales are consistent year around they are kidding themselves....it's purchased for the sole purpose to kill deer with as little effort as possible...not to benefit wildlife. Where food plots can benefit a variety of wildlife...not just deer and turkey...but song birds, pollinators, etc.....food plots can also create nesting and fawning cover as well. A dirt spot under a corn feeder...with critters waiting on a timer to sling corn...but then in January the feeding stops?....deer season is over....not much benefit.... actually more harm than good. How about managing native forage through herbicide application, disking and burning....this is also manipulation of forage to attract and hold more deer....but like food plots...when done correctly....those practices far surpass any benefits of slinging bagged corn offers. No disrespect to anyone on this thread...but to say there is no difference between feeding bagged corn and managing a year-round food plot program is just not true....there is a difference....and if we are talking about what actually benefits wildlife....there's a big difference.
