RE: "Baiting Vs. Food Plots"
This subject has been beat in the dirt some many times. For every "Pro" there's a "con".
Here are some of my thoughts.
A HUNTING food plot is planted to HUNT over and bring in deer. Same as bait.
-So in that, they are the same.
Corn isn't very nutrional. Hardly any protien. Food plots may offer better nutrition.
-Food plots win this one.
Food plots feed more than deer. So does corn. I've even seen foxes eat corn.
-So in that, they are the same.
As one of our members incorrectly stated, food plots are more expensive.
-This is not true. corn is $5+ a bag and deer may eat a bag in two days. Do that math with a season like ours which runs from Aug-Jan.
Food plots are there all year around. Again, wrong. NOT all food plots are there all year. Some people put out feed all year in feeders and such.
-Either can be all year.
I could go on and on..
but do you get my point?
