No Corning

Does anyone NOT feed and just hunt? Scout hot food sources and or bedding to hunt?

Everyone on the public land section.

I use about 4 bags a year. Little hand corn in an ideal spot.

Only when I'm hunting off the highway.

I do both. Hunting growing up with my Granddad, we never baited. I still do more than I hunt a feeder. That said, I feed year round.

Depends on the state I'm hunting.

In a normal year, I hunt water way more than corn in West Texas. There was too much rain from September on this year to make that work.

I try to leave bedding areas undisturbed. For the most part, where I hunt the buck bedding areas are in box canyons and the brush is thick as hell so getting in and out silently is pretty much impossible.

Rocky does. He's an anti. I kid but he's killed some giants.

Do you not feed ?

I plant plots and do quite a bit of habitat improvement that results in deer food, but no baiting.

It’s not very effective in good habitat if you’re trying to kill a decent buck imo. Plus, dumping corn out seems like a waste when you consider the tonnage you get out of plots for cheap.

I try to find the feeders close to the highway

I hunted and scouted for a deer lease 12 years ago
I scouted the ranch and found the best places to hunt

Then I put a feeder or plot nearby and feed them year around.

I do a little of both. Took one season and really worked a place without feeders and the such. Interesting year, and did take a nice mature 8 that season. I learned two very important things. Deer are less predictable without a solid baited food source, and that deer without nearby feeders are WAY more relaxed if the area is not heavily pressured.

No I do not. I hunt public exclusively where bait is not allowed. I tried the lease thing but sittin in a box is not my thing. Also lookin at the same real estate all season wears on me. I much prefer the mobility as well as the challenge. Plus, scouting new areas before and after the season gives me an excuse to be in the woods
