It only got really prominent when trail cameras did from what I remember. Now it's ubiquitous, I'd venture to say most private land deer hunters dump feed to some extent. I personally only know a small number of people who don't, outside of public land hunters.

I did the 1st year I bought my place, but I do not any more.

I have been able to clean it up enough for some food plots now. I see many more deer in the food plots now than when I put out corn.

Food plots were slow growing this year with the drought and still not flourishing but they're growing and the deer are really using them now.

Always enjoy the musings of some coonass whose idea of management is waiting till the horns break the skin before laying waste to some poor yearling. A yearling who is only alive because his mother was one of two does to somehow be fortunate enough to survive the previous year's onslaught. Then watching said coonass pontificate about " the big private clubs" and what their management practices ahould and should not be. And doing so in blanket statements that cover allll the big private clubs in the country, without ever actually having stepped foot on one. It's really quality entertainment. But congrats on that forked horn deer you pepaw bagged on that deer drive back in 97. I'm sure it looks great in your single wide.
