I use to feed better than 10 bags a week but two years ago turned feeders off and way down. I'm now feeding less than six bags a month, and that's too much. mostly for hunting hogs at night. What I've found that works better is to disk the natural forage and fertilize.
The thing is around our area, you have to have the equipment and rain to grow a food plot, and then you would have to fence it out from the cattle. With no particular bedding or feeding areas around our lease it is very hard to pattern deer. We are still less than half our normal rian fall. Even what use to be wheat fields around our lease are in dire straits. All we have on our lease are mesquites, no oaks. These deer really have no set patterns. You can watch a trail that has fresh tracks for a while then it may take a month to see anything fresh again. No rhyme or reason for what our deer do, at least in my observations.
