i use corn just for the simple fact i dont have feild to hunt or to much wildfood do i have to plant food plots as well yes you can take big deer on it but i wouldnt put out corn in a place on an oak ridge unless there is a corn feild behind it like there is on mine oak ridge that i hunt. Ijust have much more success on themand deer do get used to it that is why you have to catch them on the way to the corn out of their bedding and staging area more deer are killed that way then hunting directly on the corn pile well More big bucks anyway most do not know this though in nc around me LOL
