People skills....... I do not believe DEC in NY allows food plots but people plant them, bait them and who knows what, and I think that takes a lot of the skill, effort, knowledge etc. required to be a successful hunter, that and the fact that deer populations are certainly doing well.
I think a real hunt is where you go to remote locations where they are not so concentrated/domesticated, and you need all the above to be successful.
That said, I plant things for them, figuring that lush forage in the fall, will help them finish before harvest, and help them prepare for the winter months by fattening up. It does attract more deer, and my sitting in a stand like a sniper, is more of a harvest to me at least. The benefit is that a few are selected for harvest, the remaining herd has some additional forage (usually oats), we had a very harsh winter like in '02, which in that year there was a lot of winter kill judging by carcasses, this was not the case around here last year and I think the latter was worse than '02. They roam, head for the pines, but it takes until December for those oats to yellow out, yet they still feed off the base of the plant for a long while after.
