jpike is right build a couple of wire cages and set them out,this will allow you to see how much the deer are utilzing the food plot,although I would also use my trail cameras because this time of year the bucks often travel in bachelor groups and if they are visiting your food plot you should be able to get some good pics of them and see what kind of bucks you have.And about the weeds,You didn't say what kind of food plot you have planted,but I would visit a local feed and seed store and let them help you with something to spray over the top to kill the weeds and not the plot,I don't see how mowing would help because you would be mowing your food plot down along with the weeds.
