[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3781187, member: 17"] That's too bad southernhunter. As you probably know, leaving an "ecotone" of brush, weeds, briers, and tall grasses around an open food plot can significantly increase daylight usage of that plot by deer. A few years ago, I tried to convince a client that he should give up some of his soybean planting acreage to create 60-foot-wide buffers of native warm-season grasses around the edges of his big bottomland plots (which abutted directly against big, open hardwood bottoms). The client thought I was crazy, but eventually relented. Now, several years later, he doesn't think I'm crazy anymore! The number of older bucks that will step out into the big soybean fields just before dark has increased dramatically since the buffer of tall grasses was implemented. [/QUOTE]
