Maybe one day I'll be able to have and use equipment but for the last 4 years this has been working.



That’s interesting. Do you have any pics of the plots? What they look like with the summer weeds and then what they look like during deer season?

This sounds way too easy to be true! Not saying you are lying, I just want to try it.


I do not have any pictures. Never really thought about taking any. A summer time picture would be weeds and grass about head high. In season picture would be a food plot with some standing dog fennel. Which oddly enough has worked out well for me. I guess they like the added cover. I have noticed the past few years that the plot that has the most standing dog fennel has the most mature buck sightings. My plots wont win any awards but they have produced. Its all about your goals. I have been on hunts other places where the plots were beautful with no deer or a ton of small bucks and does. If you like to just see deer then that's great. But personally, I'd rather put some on the wall. Which in four years of doing this way I have. Good luck to you and yours if you try it. Alot easier. Alot chaper
