RE: Who uses corn??
We keep one 55 gal. barrel with a magnum timer and a 12V solar battery with panel. Keeping it full gets expensive throughout the year especially mixed with some buck o'la to provide the nutrients they need but, after making some changes is our baiting techniques we have noticed a huge difference. In a few other locations we have a few homemade feeders made out of a five gal. bucket with a hole cut out of the bottom and a broom with two screws put on opposite sides from another, about 8 inches from one end. The hole in the bottom of the bucket should be only a 1/4 inch bigger than the diameter of the broom stick. Keep the lid for it and tie it up in a tree with the broom handle about 4 feet from the ground. You could even spray paint it camoflauge to keep it hidden. Works great but we don't keep them full much at all due to the fact that the corn gets eaten too fast. Most everyone knows that is really used to keep the does around so when the rut starts the bucks have a reason to come onto your property. I rarely kill anything over the bait pile. Hopefully, I can catch up with the rest of the world and get some game cameras going so I can show you guys some pics.
