I absolutely believe that feeding deer can be habit forming or all of the seed companies that are selling food plot material would be out of business. I personally dont agree with it for one simple reason, deer are not cattle. I attended a clinic earlier this year on food plots just to see what the fuss was all about. One gentelman there explained that when he moved into his property that the most deer that he would see at any given time were about 7, now after planting his food plots he sees somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 40 deer at a time.

I believe that all habitats have a carrying capacity and by artificially changing the habitat we also change the capacity. What now happens if he sells the property to someone that doesnt carry on with what he is doing? Since he is only providing a spring and summer forage is he now creating a problem for the winter range by overloading the carry capacity?

So many questions that have yet to be answered.
