[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5488267, member: 20583"] Can you possibly thin the forest to create more browse that deer can reach? IMO, plots are like candy or dessert or a quick snack. They work as an attraction but are not as necessary as often given credit for. The real staple deer food is browse and forage, stuff that grows within a deer's reach. Whether that's weeds or buds on the tips of branches, it is what makes up the vast majority of deer diet. If you really want to feed them, find a way to increase that type of food. Forests you can see through offers little to deer. I always heard that if you threw a basketball as far as you can, if you can see it when it lands then your deer need more food. [/QUOTE]
