ShaneB Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ok well about 10 minutes i was walkin to a spot that im preparing for a food plot i was goin to see if it was dry enough to plow and i wasnt really paying attention my question is it possible that the deer are being drawn to this area and why would they be?

Ravin R10 man Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Probably they just like that area..it will be a killer spot with a plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 If you have been cutting down trees to clear the area the deer will be drawn in for the easy browse tree tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Been many a times that I have bladed an area only to come back and find tons of fresh tracks in the bare soil. Not sure why, maybe the smell of the fresh soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneB Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 i just checked it and in less than 24 hours i had 15 pics and only 1 with a deer but i think the reason is that my camera shuts off after 2 minutes and takes a little bit to turn back on after its triggerd and its really windy here in Central MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 were putting in a new food plot now, its basicly in the pine trees, ive raked it bare and we we've had some good rain now but you would not amagin all thats growing there now, and i think the deer are coming in to eat the new growth of the different plants thats growing, were going to spray it with round up in a few weeks to get it ready to plow. maybe they know some thing is going to grow thats been dorment.
