I have had the same property for three years now and when I first leased it, it had a 15 acre field of wheat on it (160 acres). That yr we had good success and great deer #'s. Last yr my landowner didn't plant any crops and we still managed to harvest deer, but we weren't seeing near as many(6 per outing avg.) This yr we have a great crop and our deer have been all over it. (14 per outing avg.) I think a food plot wouldn't only help w/ keeping deer in the area but would also help bucks w/ rack development.
