RE: The invisable CHEAP foodplot!
thanks for the link er, deer just like livestock seem to perfer areas that have been fertilized, my only guess is for the high nitrogen content, we can spread out chicken litter on a field and the cows will tear down the fence to get to it
, dont know why but it works...

RE: The invisable CHEAP foodplot!
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.

RE: The invisable CHEAP foodplot!
Good article Early Riser. I guess you could say anything other than hunting in your birthday suit with a sharp stone is an unfair advantage. I read a study from Michigan that said that baiting only increased your odds of getting a deer by about 5%. I think it's much more effective to give them a good permanent food source to keep them in the area. It would be great if you posted the next days link "Fertilizing Trees".
