I have a couple withoutthe use of these (11 pt and 9 pt).

1) Can't use bait in GA so I don''t use
2) I use game cams now, but what I've found it does for me is help me pass on bucks when I know a bigger one is around!
3) I use food plots, but only occasionally and usually when my 7 year old sits with me so he can see more deer. Makes it fun for him!
