Should I still hunt the food plots during the rut?

I do and will continue, but honestly, the bucks have not been killed in the plots. I cant recall shooting the first one in a plot before or during the rut. Now what are the chances of them heading to the plot and I cut him off? I guess 50/50diehardawg said:Should I still hunt the food plots during the rut?
diehardawg said:I have only hunted for 2 years and during that time almost all of my hunting has been done over food plots. I have only taken 2 deer and both of them have been in food plots. This year I am greatly considering moving away from the plots and into the woods. My question is how far away from the plots should I move. I understand that I need to locate and setup on the trails leading to and from the plots. I just need to figure out how deep into the woods I need to go. Do the deer tend to stage just off the plots? One more question: When scouting how can you tell where the deer are bedding? Other than matted grass in open areas I'm not sure what to look for.

Is this, or is this not, one of the best threads ever started in the Deer Hunting Forum ?!

In your opinion are drag-rags, w/ doe-in-esterous scent, of as much use as we hear ??
I've never used them simply because I had usually tried to take a course to avoid a buck crossing my trail, much less follow it ?!
Seems he'd smell you too ?!
