So in a discussion on another forum about what is better? Protein pellets or food plots (with irrigation).
I contend food plots are better since deer will spend hours grazing the plots -
With protein pellets in feeders my experience is (from thousands of camera pictures) is that the deer only ingest the pellets for 10-15 minutes - I think they ingest way more protein with nature browse and food plots than they do at a feeder.
I also contend that food plots are way less costly than pellets - a good food plot can last 3-5 years so no comparison on the cost IMO
Thoughts?
