In the case of the doe blowing her nose at me the wind was coming from me to them so it most likely was my smell. I totally used my hand to put the corn out (it's called "hand corn") so that was a rookie mistake on my end. I seem to have a lot of those....
Before I drop hand corn, I check the wind at THAT spot and see if it is coming across where I'll be sitting.

Probably something else alerted her
I have hunted a ranch where somebody chunked corn out with their bare hands and it didn't matter. I think in that case... the deer were conditioned to it. But, on my old place, we noticed when we used our bare hands (especially in warm/damp times of year), the deer would see it and come to it... but sometimes bump off of it... and it seemed they would hit it only after a while. However, if I didn't use my hands, I stopped getting blown out by the corn being there. It is just based on observation and so I've always taken the easy precaution of not touching it if I don't have to.

LOL! That's precisely what I was expecting. I fully knew they were going to walk up like the ones out at the old house did. I could shake a 5 gallon bucket of corn and they'd jump the fence coming at me. Live and learn though. Oh and thanks for the advice on the wind indicator.

Originally posted by SwampRabbit View PostI thought of you guys this weekend. Mowed down an area 20yds by 30yds that I plan on putting a setup. Had a 50# bag of corn. Dumped half of it in a pile... and... reached my sweaty hands in and tossed the rest like I was seeding the place figured the hogs could help me till it up. If they do a good enough job... might throw some clover next week.
