I can go into the woods with a feeder and hang it from a tree and come back in a few days put up my stand and shoot a deer if it has found the feeder if no deer come I can move the feeder to another location and try it all over. I can clear an area, do soil tests, bring the acidity/alkalinity to the best levels for the seed/crop I am going to plant till/plow and plant. Then I scout the area and try to decide what travel lanes are being used at what times. Then I set up my stand/blind, but I dont set up right on the food plot, I set up about 75-100 yards a way from the edge. Thats just me, I prefer not to shoot deer in the plot. It may scare the others from it and then they wont come back for a while, screwing up my patterning. But if the deer don't come to my plot for some reason, I can't JUST PICK IT UP AND MOVE IT TO A BETTER SPOT and hunt it in a couple days. I think mobility of the food source helps ME to define baiting.
