Corn piled under feeder

[Burwabit]

Same in Leon county...terrible movement. Mother nature dumped a ton of acorns in this terrible drought.

Can confirm.

I rolled all my feeders back to barely feed. Make em want it.

Also, I scratched out a small food plot with wildlife mix this year. They're hitting that now that we finally got rain and it came up last week.

Glad I got my buck Oct 1.

Quit spending money on corn and hunt the acorns.

that doesnt work as well when you dont have oaks/acorns

We have a lot of acorn trees :-) but deer are still cleaning up corn.

Just pulled my cam cards for review---and there was lots of corn on the ground to be seen.

Oak trees in Robertson County are LOADED with acorns, and corn was piled untouched under the feeders. Not even squirrels were eating the corn.

get a couple 18 wheeler loads of squirrels and turn them loose

We have next to no acorns this year due to the extreme dry summer. However recent rains have greened things some so the deer are less dependent on supplemental feed.

We are all growing corn under our feeders in Nac. Nothing is coming to it....not even coons, squirrels or birds. 8 pics in 3 weeks on the feeder cam. Told me lease partner to just move my camera to the county road that borders our lease so at least I can watch an occasional truck drive by.

Turn your feeder off until all the corn is gone. Then turn it back on, setting your timer to only dispense the amount of corn that the deer pick up immediately when it goes off. This requires the deer to compete for the corn. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years. The deer literally run to my feeders when they go off. The key is seasonally adjusting your feed amounts to never feed more than they will eat.

Good advice here. If they can hit your feeder whenever they want you more then likely won't be there when they do. I do the same when they start leaving it on the ground.

Turn feeders to 1 second twice a day.

Make a “Fake scrape” well within bow range?
Deer love my trophy rocks.
Rattle and grunt calls.
Hand corn away from feeder

Later in the season feeders will be back in demand.

We have had 8” of rain total this year. Driest I can recall. We have a bumper crop of acorns. I can’t spit under an oak and not hit an acorn. I am told the high acorn production is a preservation instinct of the tree in periods of stress.

This. My pecans, persimmons, chestnuts, and plums are all producing bumper crops this year.
