I belong to a hunt club in south carolina,and we have several food plots with clover, rye and all the designer brands rackmaster,ect.I believe they are expensive and a waste of time.There are so many natural food sources for deer available that I believe they save the food plots for late season when typically the season is over. My expierence is that the turkeys benefit more from food plots than deer. This is only my opinion though.good luck and happy hunting
