I live in Connecticut where we don't allow baiting. I have my own 12 acres and live on it. The season is over and I will go to near where I hunt and put out some bushels of acorns and corn. I hunt in the end of a funnel where deer have no need to go. I believe the deer eating for the next few months here sets a patttern in there brain to come to the same area next season to look for food. I think they wander to places where the grub was good in the past even if they don't find any food there for long periods of time.

Any of you old salts have any thoughts on my theory?

If nothing else it gets me out in the cold.
