Had to look that one up. Didn't put much out 1/3 of each seed packet at most on a 10 x 10 patch. Plan on going back 2nd week in June or so. Would be surprised if any got to mature stage, maybe camera will show the culprits. Thought about throwing a bigger selection on garden plot I tilled that same day, but didn't have the time.

10x10 is pretty much a waste of time. It may get eaten but won't be a destination food source.

Had to have something. Better than weeds right? And it's right on the edge of the alfalfa. Nothing like a little dessert to wrap up a meal.

I grew up hunting in the south where we had 10-15 food plots on our leases and spent hundreds of hours in and around them. They were typically a 1/2 acre to 5 or 6 acres. Hunting the trails to the alfalfa will be a lot more productive than a 10x10 spot. The plots were ok for shooting dinks and the rare mature buck in season. The less pressure they had, the better but I preferred to hunt about 50yds off the plot. The better bucks tend to hold up and make scrapes out of boredom and anxiousness waiting around for dusk..

I'm not saying I haven't ever used bait, but I've harvested more deer without bait than with.
