Jeff, I think you are absolutely, 100% correct. How's the old saying go? "hunt the beds, hang the heads"......I've read several articles concerning this as well.

Personally, I feel the reason the food plots and feeding get so much "press time" is the money. Let's face it, all that's really required to make a bedding area is a chain saw. Pretty simple. Too many folks stand to lose too much money if that were the emphasis rather than feed.

We all know the food plot industry is HUGE business. 4 wheelers, a disc to pull behind them, seeders, seed, fertilizer, soil samples.....the list goes on. Look at how many companies are busting into the food plot arena. It's no wonder why just 1 guy w/ a chain saw doesn't get any props.
