Good info as usual. My input is that on the corn piles/corn feeders is that it's actually very useful. Nutritionally very similar to acorns. Deer are random browsing and I think having a supply of corn available when not much else is available is a good thing. The deer are gonna browse in fields, woods etc and adding some corn is only gonna help. Just maybe continue it till spring green up. Totally agree on daytime corn pile use. If you don't kill em that first time or two in there they figure out the game really fast. Pro and cons for sure, but you can for sure get some valuable info on deer in the area with a pile of corn. Keep it up on the videos and hope your season is going well.
Where I hunt in South Texas foodplots are pretty much a no go because of drought and millions of hogs. We scatter corn down our senderos and feed protein feed and cottonseed year round, we’ve got corn feeders also to keep them in the area. Here at home I have a high fenced place where I feed protein and foodplots and they devour both. Enjoy the videos!
Hi. Great video! I have been hunting in south ga and north ga the last seven years. The weather here is so wild. Floods covering any seed or plants that came up. Then weeks of no rain. Hot temps in 100 in the sun. I don’t live near my camps at d even if I did water would be a project. In both places I have yet to get a nice food plot. Maybe a bit, then deer take it out to nothing. I’d be better cutting up dollars for mulch lol. Corns not bad. But I dont put it in one big pile. Scatter it around, down trails. I guess I’ll keep trying food plots, I’m sure they would benefits the herd the mist. But so expensive feeding raccoons,birds, turkeys the seed. Corn cheaper for that. Lol
I did an experiment and put my corn about 100 yrds from my plots. I can honestly say the corn was hit constantly and my food plots were still used but at a lower rate. When I put the corn on my plots. I had deer hand around for twice as long and would go back and forth.
Combination of both. Old bucks seam to shy away from bait from experience. But in late season cold areas bait works because deer will eat their selves out of house and home. In heavy snows good hay and corn not just corn.
Hit the nail on the head love your videos your right on

Va is bait free zone during season but before season you can . If it grows out of the ground it’s allowed.
We were dry dry this fall. Food plots burned up. Caught this last rain and Was able to get a decent stand of rye.

Love the videos
Both, my deer, eat both at the same time. While chewing corn, they walk to the plot. Then, while munching on greens, walk back to the corn.

Thanks Wes, just curious what are you charging for a consultation?
I hunted over corn for a couple of seasons. Never saw anything older. Last year I shot a nice one eating acorns. I’m done we sitting by a feeder.
Any mature buck I shot was not interested in the bait at all unless very late in the season in northern states.
@@johngibson821. Same. Only decent buck I ever shot over corn was really late after the acorns were gone.

They are both bait. Ditch them and the cell cameras. Promote woodsmanship.
