Food Plots sweet potatoes

[buckaroo]

Anyone plant them as food plot, I have about half an acre I thought of planting for myself knowing deer would eat them, but maybe they won't devastate them being half acre

A lot of guys use the actual sweet potato itself to bait with in eastern NC where a lot of sweet potatoes are grown. After they harvest a field, you can go pick up barrels and barrels of "culls" that were left in the field.
I've never heard much mention of them eating the actual plant itself.

I'm pretty sure deer love eating the vines

Deer love the vines.
I killed my first deer in a sweet potato patch

If I raise sweet potatoes for myself I have to electric fence.... the deer will mow them off at the ground
