supplemental feeding should be your backup plan, in case of acorn crop failure, drought, etc. NOT your primary source of high protein food. Primary should be two season planting plots and fertilization of natural browse. David Morris proved this in Ga many years ago at Burnt Pine Plantation
Technically supplemental feeding does not replace a failed acorn crop since supp feed mostly is used in the growing season. Agree with primary plan except fertilizing native browse aint going to do much, nor are 2 season foodplots with the percentage of land they make up in most of Alabama. Managing native HABITAT is primary. Thinning, burning, pines... Imagine that this habitat is capable of producing trophy bucks. Lots of people knew it before Dave Morris proved it.
