On notice the doe seemed to be out at a decent time, 1655 in the evening you can even see some light through the trees.
Yeah, I had a couple videos during deer season of the does shortly before they walked past me.

We plant several different types of food plots and can use salt & minerals and during the Rut the Bucks are more likely to be moving and making mistakes plus if You draw in the Does to feed the Bucks will be looking for them and chasing after them giving You a chance at harvesting a nice Buck or Doe?
I used to put in some small plots in some clearings in the woods, and planted clover up the paths that lead to my treestand, but in recent years I don't get to spend as much time out there doing that.
