Yes, it really works have been do this before the food plot era. Found it out by mistake. Back in the 80's with my grandfather. We used to spray miracle grow on wild berries to harvest for preserves. This same hedgerow still produces 2+ gallons of preserve, rabbits, turkeys, and the famous venison straps.

I personally am not a suporter of wildlife baiting and hunting over corn piles etc;, we do participate in off season suplemental feeding and empty any feeders around a hunting stand in open season, and try to keep some suplemental feeders going in safe zones etc. We are more into a year round food plot program with minimal suplemental feeding.
I would like to offer the articles below as
THE INVISABLE WILDLIFE FOODPLOT, instead of it's caption of "bait". In any event wheather you are into baiting or against it, I continue to hear hunters asking questions about foodploting in hard to reach aeras or questions on what to plant in specific deep woods senerios, shaded aeras, or aeras where getting equipment to is not logical.
Thought the article in the URL below might help some with specific issues that could help some hunters that don't have access to foodplot equipment.
