Exactly the same difficulty as it is finding a trail to a agricultural corn field, alphalpha, soybean, clover field, apple orchard, watering hole, oak flat or natural funnel. I don't see the reasoning there Gus

Correct, but if you have 200 acres and a 1.5 acre food plot in the middle of it, are you not hunting the area because it concentrates deer? Don't it take some, not all of the guess work out of it. You have now narrowed you hunting area to a food source and finding a trail coming to it is not that difficult at this point IMO.
I'm not saying right or wrong, bait piles/feeders put deer exactly right where you want them when they come in, IN RANGE. Food plots just like the areas I mentioned above do not.
Food plots do put them right where you want them. In range. I agree to that.
I quess I just see a food plot doing the same thing..........Concentrating deer to a certainarea. Unlike a ridgeline or a draw or a creek bottom, where the deer pass through and browse...... they are coming to the plot to eat. A destination if you will not unlike the feeder.
