I have drums at each stand with ziplock bags full and ready to go. Got tired of the last minute rush to get my bag ready and also the hassle of transporting bags of corn from camp to stand every day.

To the OP, I only Hand corn if I'm bow hunting usually. I'll put a big pile between me and the feeder in hopes of getting a perfect broadside easy shot, but it seldom works out that way. When I'm hunting with a rifle I corn the roads with a feeder. Gets the deer good and used to my fourwheeler so I don't have to stop a ways away and walk in.

I had to through stones at them to get them to move, ( only went about 20 yds at a time) I'll be back next week with something other than my Hawk!!

Cant you just go buy it at Buccees? Or is there already a shortage on corn again?
Keep my 5 gallon bucket with lid topped off throughout the season. A couple scoops in a bag before I head out to the stand. I would say 90% of the critters I have killed with a bow have been eating corn that was thrown on the ground.

I've been hand corning a bag a week for the last 3 weeks in two separate locations on the lease. Set up my treestand this weekend. I've got hogs, deer (a couple of good targets) and of course, plenty of cows. I'll be missing opening week, had to reschedule a cruise due to Harvey. Don't think the animals will be going anywhere, so I'll get after them when we get back. Good luck everyone!

Hand corn works great. The problem I have had is I will hand corn my shooting lane right before getting in my blind or stand and I have had deer come to the corn but I guess they smell I was there and they back off and leave. And I wear rubber boots. How do you avoid the deer smelling you after you hand corn?
