Hello Everyone,
I live in Central NC and hunt on 10 acres behind my house. I'm new to Deer Hunting so I haven't been able to take up bow hunting yet but I plan to after the season. I've sat in the woods quite a few times and I've already seen 3 bucks ( 4,6,and8 ) and 6 different does. My question is if anyone is aware of a good way to keep these deer on my land. It's killing me to see them and know that I have to wait until Nov. 16 for rifle season to kick in. I hunt by the laws and don't even take a weapon with me. I'm nervous and worried that these deer won't be around when the season finally get's here. I put corn out ( baiting is legal where I live , and I hope that doesn't make anybody mad) and there is ton's of White Oak trees , so there is plenty for them to eat. I'm not a huge Trophy hunter. I would just like to save some money on meat at the Supermarket. Is what I'm doing good enough , or is there better ways.
Thanks to everyone for your help,
