I read that same article in Buckmasters. It was very interesting. It seems as though the numbers show that the more people around you bait as well, your chance of a harvest goes down since the deer can move from property to property at any time and have plenty of food at all places. Now if you're the only one around baiting that might change but they can still visit it at night and you'd never know!
Wouldn't the use of multiple food plots create the same scenario? I have multiple feeders that I normally keep full year round. The only time I see the visits decrease is when there is a good mast crop. I have 2 feeders on 185 acreas and one food plot(.5 acre)
I do everything I can to keep deer on and around my property.
