Getting back to you late elmer. I second Booyah's comments. Something is better than nothing. I too used to use the Pick Up Truck to pull a piece of chain link fence like Booyah before I purchased equipment. Worked too when fire, drought, hurricane, flooding, and poachers didn't foil the plan. If there are deer in your area they will come. If you fertilize and lime your plot, no matter how small, they will come. They NEED the nutrients whether we supply them or not. They get the nutrients in their natural forages where they find them. If we introduce them into their environment, they will come.
It is REALLY important that there are deer in the neighborhood first however.
