RE: This question is going to make some people mad.
I'm with CougarMag -
You guys are assuming that science has made Deer Food Plots - some super Steroid thing.
Thats just not true at all.
Providing more protein and carbohydrates - at the right times - may somewhathelp deer grow better antlers - but many of us plant plots to help keep the herd healthy a the right times of the year.
I don't trophy hunt - but I like to take a healthy - full sized deer - and food plots have helped me and our hunting party, all the way around. And our local herd is beter off for it.
What if you hunted the property next to me - and took a slammer - wouldn't you be ineleigible for P&Y?
