Default RE: I don't like hunting

Veg

Purchase a big Rubbermaid garbage can (with a lid), and fill it with horse corn from a local feed store. Just plain old hard kernel corn. Keep putting 1-gallon piles of it out. Once they eat it, replenish the pile. Keep the lid on, and leave it out in your garage. If you don't keep the lid tight, mice will get in it, and you don't want that. Also, be sure to get corn, b/c some of the processed organic stuff gets soggy w/rain and they won't eat it.

Also, buy yourself a salt block and couple apple trees and pear trees. They really like to eat apples and pears in the early fall/late summer.

Set your salt block at the base of a tree or stump, and eventually, they'll start digging at it and licking there.

Don't buy into all this hogwash about the coyotes. They'll get their fill anyway, it's natural selection at work. They won't eat up all your deer, trust me.

Cost of Rubbermaid can - $15-$20
Cost of 100# of corn - $10-$20
50# Salt Block - $6
Cost of trees will vary - I usually get them at the end of the season for $5-$25 each at Tractor Supply.

One trip to a farm center, $50 bucks, and you'll be in like Flynn.

Good luck in all your travels.
