This whole year was such an anomaly, there are no lessons to be gleaned from anything that happened with food plots. In my area, if you don't account for the acorn boom, here are the faulty assumptions I could make:
*I have enough food
*The deer do not like turnips or collards
*The deer do not like awnless barley heads in the fall
*They don't eat sorghum heads
*There is enough browse
It's the barley that's bothering me. I grew the perfect patch of barley in one of my plots this year, and it never got touched. Most of my food went unused with the exception of the clover and jap millet heads. I need to go back to camp once more to wrap up some stuff, and I wanna go back and check that barley patch to see if they ever used it. Frankly, I think they are still gorging on acorns and running from coyotes.
