The article cites, SPECIFICALLY, the reason for the keeping the deer out.......is the hunter being able to HUNT over the plot....and realize the fruits of his labor.

That's why I asked the question I did.

Also Jeff if you do plant a small plot you might want totry a late season plant. I plant sweetcorn sometimes as nothing will really mess with it until it matures then I just leave it standing, also a simple winter wheat plot works good but if you make a perimeter around it of snow peas or winter peas it becomes a very tempting mix for them especially when it gets colder.

Makes sense to me. Like I said, if they eat it down you can't hunt it and in essence are basically just feeding them which is good to a point but that is not the primary reason I plant them, I want to hunt near them.

What is your answer to your question or what is your #1 intention with a food plot?
