RE: Making them feel at Home
Set up some decoys with estrus scent. Call, rattle or use attractant scents. But; if you do any of these you' re doing the same as baiting. You' re changing the deer' s normal patterns by trying to lure the deer into an area that it wouldn' t naturally be in. At least with food plots you' re improving deer and wildlife nutrition, whether you hunt over them or not.
