I am three years into my food plot plantings and have killed zero deer in the plot, heading into or out of the plot. They hit it at night and midday. Seems to be helping the herd, but draining the wallet. I still kill plenty of deer, but not anywhere near the plot. We can't bait in IL, but I am not so bold to say if they changed the law that I wouldn't do it. But right now we can't, so I don't.
