Default RE: Baiting vs. Planting Deer Feed - what's The Difference?


What makes a cornfield planted for human consumption any different than an alfalfa field planted for deer consumption? Aren't both fields a natural food source in the mind of a deer? And don't the deer react the same way in both cases or does an alfapha field make the deer lose their instinctive nocturnal behavior when it comes to open fields?

I'm being serious. I really don'tunderstand the difference betweenthe two other than the fact that one is anative food source and the other isn't. To me it seems the deer should still react the same way, but they'll get more nutritional value out of the alfapha or whatever it is the landowner choosesto plant.
