Hunting over a feeder or a food plot is basically the same thing.hunting over a food plot is more acceptible because due to the fact that it says that it is better for the overall health of the deer herd,it offers a different source of nutrients during the season,than just putting corn or whatever you use in the feeders.Plus to many people putting in a food plot and maintaining it takes alot of work,than just dumping feed on the ground or a feeder.But again hunting either way is the same thing. GOOD LUCK NEXT SEASON!!!!!
