It didn't change my views on why many plant food plots. Most seem to do it to provide a large supply of healthy forage which grows bigger, healthier deer and give themselves a few more food source hunting oppurtunities. I think the article can help many that are just starting with food plots or have high deer numbers.

The reason being if you (like myself) do small food plots in tough soiland have high deer numbers the deer can wipe them out relatively quickly and that is bad for two reasons(IMO). The first being you can't really hunt it once theseason opens because it is not providing much foodand the second being your plot never gets a chance todevelop to it's full potentialwhich often (IME) doesn't happen until your second seeding as the soil becomes more fertile or if you heavilyoverseed it the first time (in good soil). So I can see people maybe wanting to keep the deer out for a while to let the plot develop more and provide a better hunting oppurtunity when theseason opens.
