For the last 10 years or so, I haven't really hunted corn piles for deer. I usually have an Ag field, or some natural feeding area that I could always go to and see a deer or two. This past season, I started corning up a spot for my daughter to hunt/shoot that would be a little more predictable and kid friendly....It worked great. I have a perfect little spot between two cutovers that is flat loaded with deer. Well, at $10/bag, the 4 deer that got killed from this stand cost more per pound than Prime beef.
There are anywhere between 15-25 deer that frequent this spot. I can drop 2 bags of corn at noon, and by dark the big group of horse head doe deer are munching down. They will eat it all night until its gone. I think I would have better luck with a feeder setup, where they get just enough corn to keep them around, but not $40 per week worth.
I don't have any turkeys in this spot, so I plan on getting it set up within the next month or so and keep it fed all year to get the deer used to it.
I'm looking for suggestions, tips, tricks, etc., What kind of feeder do it need? What Brands to stay away from? etc etc etc.
Thanks in advance!
