Default RE: good way to keep deer on my land this summer

i'm confused by what you mean i want the deer to regularly come to my spots im gonna plant a food plot in the spring
I think what he is saying is that having deer/bucks on your property during the spring and summer is not the important thing, having them there during hunting season is what you want. And, while establishing food plots will obviously produce more deer on your property once they begin to grow, the best results, by keeping the does offspring from this year, will really start to show in years to come. Also, don't be discourage if you don't see any bucks there during the summer. Bucks ranges vary seasonally and their fall and summe ranges, while they overlap, can be very different.

Check out this article, it provides some good insight:
