I had someone get self righteous on me once by telling me that very thing. He was bashing another guy for running a feeder. I pointed out how his food plots are nothing but a feeder. He hit me with the health herd crap, and I said, "why then do you hunt over it. Why not plow it up once the season starts". He said nothing.



By the way, ive hunted food plots, Ive hunted oak trees, Ive hunted food piles, and ive hunted ag fields. Once you find the staging area, neiter is anymore difficult than the other. Size had very little difference.
