is the camera in by the bedding areas or what?
bucks are still hideing from shotgun season here
No, the Camera is at a feeding area. There are Oaks (acorns), and Locast trees (Locast Pods) that they feed on. They have scraped the leaves away and there is a huge amount of acorns this year. I did rake some into this area when I set the camera up.
And NO... nobody else can hunt this area either so there is no illegal baiting going on. Its MY private property and I watch it VERY closely. I believe in following the law to the letter.
That being said... I hunted only 3 days this year and saw only 4 or 5 Doe's deep in the woods. I never got a shot off this year if you can believe that. So... hopefully all these Bucks will be bigger next year!
Feeding deer corn right now is not illegal in MO unles you're still bow hunting over the pile.
