I will say this.....
Neither would be there without man putting them there.
In that sense, yes they are the same.
so a food plot and a pile of corn are the same....? Really?
maybe IF you have a feeder full of corn, year round. Or at least Aug-April or the life of your food plot.
Problem is, in the real world, most folks put corn out on Fri afternoon, or Sat morning when they are at the club hunting. Corn dosen't start till Oct 15 and ends abruptly the last hunt day of the season.
For those who plant spring/summer plots the difference is even greater if you don't keep the feeder fill 365 days a year. How many of ya corn baiters do this??? Way the hell under 10% I'd say.....
