    Using Milorganite to Temporarily Repel White-Tailed Deer from Food Plots

    Food plots provide supplemental forage to wildlife during periods when native vegetation is less abundant or lacks nutritional quality. Because deer often prefer fertilized food plot plants to naturally available plants, over-browsing can damage food plots before they become sufficiently established.

    Evaluating Attractants for Live-Trapping Nine-Banded Armadillos
