We do foodplots, as you can hunt over them in most states. Whereas baiting is illegal in many areas. We also do licks where it is legal to hunt over them. Getting a food plot to what you need it to be can be costly and time consuming though.The results are well worth it though and will last for years if properly maintained. With a plot, you also have the option of planting different things that will benefit the deer and you at various times of the year. Turnips make a good late season crop that the deer will come to when everything else has died out. They will come to dig up turnips to feed on. Sugar Beets are another good crop to get the deer in. There are many good forage crops that will help with antler growth during the summer. What you get will be what you are willing to put into it via cash and your time to maintain it.
