You can plant plots till the cows come home but if the surrounding properties allow for the deer slaughters those plots won't have anything to feed.
Some of you guys are really sheltered and don't have a clue.
I agree to a small degree, however we have had very good success on only 100 acres with NO food plots. We still see plenty of deer every day we hunt, and take on average 1x 3 1/2 year buck every year sometimes 2 or 3. We do limit the amount of hunters on the property though and try to keep it to 3 to 4 hunters total per day at most.

All of the neighbors around our place slaughter anything legal and a lot of stuff not legal. We have tried to talk to them about doing some selective logging however they weren't interested (I don't understand why). The money we made from the logging pays for all of the food plots and the fame cams and LOTS more..........we were surprised at why more people don't do this to their property.
