I am in an interesting predicament and could really use a professionals perspective. I currently hunt a 400+ acre pasture farm used to raise buffalo in northeast Kansas. About 80+ acres is wooded creek bottom that has great pinch points on traveling deer. However, there are no food plots on this land or surrounding lands which makes deer traffic very inconsistent. Fortunately enough this is a great travel corridor in the close area due to mature oak trees and natural clover that grows within the pasture, but its not ideal to keep mature deer on the land throughout the year.

My main concern with adding food plots is the buffalo. Unfortunately fences are not an option and the buffalo have free range to all the land. Is there any food available that if planted, or spread manually on a consistent basis, that buffalo would not be attracted to that would hold deer on this land better?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
