Kevo72 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 My buddy told me about this corn molasses black sunflower seed mix. I told another buddy what I bought and with a quizzical look said "deer eat sunflower seeds?" I thought why not. So I got this blend because it was mixed in molasses. So what are some other good blends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAB125275 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 That's not what a FOOD PLOT is ! That is BAIT!!!!! Food Plots are what you PLANT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Ummm, not sure about molasses for a food plot mix, sounds like one of those wildlife blocks. Deer will eat sunflowers though, not much a deer won't eat if they are hungry enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowmadness2186 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 better watch out the squirrels and birds will eat that all up before the deer get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 food plot mix Sorry poor choice of words! Your right it is bait...just trying to catch something on trail camera. Speaking of bait... Think about putting up a gravity feeder for when it gets cold and food becomes hard to find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo72 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 food plot mix I know I used a poor choice words to give this post a heading, but it was brought to my attention what I did was bait and not a plot! But isn't a plot just a bigger bait that you plant? I mean my little 40lbs of sunflower seeds and corn is a very little bait pile compared to an acre or more of clover or what ever one desires to plant as bait! But sorry for the terminology misuse! Both are used keep deer healthy and to bring onto the area an keep in the area...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Just know your game laws. Ours here in MS have changed a lot in recent years. It's generally baiting if you are using it to kill deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApexPredator Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 food plot mix There is a difference between bait and a food plot. Bait is an usually a foreign food or attractant brought in and dumped in a concentrated area. A food plot is usually a larger natural / agricultural food source that offers browse and cover for multiple species. A food plot tends to be as much about game management as killing. Bait serves one purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexPredator Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 food plot mix This is my opinion having hunted both. Not biased one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
