Look at the latest craze now... look in Walmart, Cabelas, etc., people are selling feeders and seed for food plots. These do not help the herd but hinder it. On private land, where these feeders reside, the herd will congregate and overpopulate. No wonder people are not seeing deer on public land. Slobs are pulling deer with food plots and feeders onto private land. What happens when these slobs run into hard times and can't afford feed or seed anymore... welcome deer starvation. It's no wonder we have CWD, Lyme disease, rabies and West Nile virus worries. It's because of these trophy hunters congregating deer and their predators to their private land. This my friend, is why public land hunting has gone downhill.
