Hmmm...actually food plots have benefitted deer for many years. Even when they were called corn fields...bean fields...or alfalfa fields...etc. Yes, I too am getting tired of videos showing rich guys going to these "resorts" to hunt deer that rarly, if ever, venture onto public lands. I do have a problem with your view on food plots and so called "lazy" hunters. You are now part of the problem of distancing hunters from ourselves which makes it easier for the anti-hunters to win, if you start "name-calling" your fellow hunters. Being in Colorado...do you use binoculars for your spot and stalk hunts? Why? Are you that lazy not to track? How far of a shot do you take? 300, 250, 200, 150 yrds? Why not get closer? Just too lazy? See my point. Human beings, by nature, will always try to find an easier way to do things. Food plots for those over in this part of the country are very benneficial. We have less "wild" or open areas than in the bread-basket and mountain states. Recently, food plots are being designed around deer instead of cattle use and are benefitting hunters in areas where there is an extremely low number of larger bucks. There are not as many people in this part of the world that have the funds to go to the areas of this continent where there are larger numbers of big bucks that one can effectivly travel to scout those areas properly. I don't care if you are 14 or 90 years old we all have dreams of getting a big buck or at least seeing one. If one has even a little bit of land food plots can help that hunter see more deer and increase the odds of seeing or getting a big buck or maybe not a big buck but a smaller one...it is up to how that hunter wants to manage the land. Which all in all allows for better herd management because deer in areas where they are mostly nocturnal have difficult time managing the numbers which increase car deer accidents. This method also allows the state game agencies in their efforts because of money issues that they have. Which when it all boils down to the skinny...herd management is what hunting's back-bone is in todays day-in-age. Yes, "the Heritage", "Family Values", "putting meat on the table", "going on the HUNT" I too embrace. Unfortunatly, when it comes to defending the act of hunting against the anti-hunting movement...the management angle is the ONLY angle they can't defend against. You have to remember something videos are intended for one purpose...to get you geeked for the hunt and go buy the products they are selling. No different than that of a NASCAR sponser. I have said this before I wish I had the video equipment so I could make my own video showing true scouting, stand placement, what a stalk entails..etc...But I am limited in my time & money. I will someday though.
