I found out about this by accident. My brother had several bird feeders in the woods behind his house and he always keeps them full.

It seems that the seeds that fell to the ground are attracting deer in numbers ... not the seeds themselves but the plants that came from the seeds.

For his food plot for the last several years, he has taken two bags of bird seed to his stand and worked the ground a little with his boots and tossed the seed. Always make sure that it rains within 48 hours ... that is key!

The bird seed he buys comes from Wal-mart and the cost is minimal compared to the cost of other blends... Good Luck!
