Here in Tallahassee, we had a similar thing happen just out of town close to a friend' s house where I sometimes hunt. It seems, some guy was putting out about 50# of corn weekly next to the road about fiftenn feet off the road but outside of the trees.

We noticed the corn and thought maybe some of the local kids wnated to see deer. As it turns out, the guy was putting out corn so as to get a herd next to the road at night feeding and then he would ride by and shoot them. The only good part of that is he was shooting them for meat and was not just leaving them there.

I know there are easier ways to poach but I guess some people will try anything.
