I do know that these deer aren't use to human noises. As far as I know, no one has ever hunted on this 40 acres. And I'm not sure about the land that joins it. Would yall turn it off and just see if they come around to eat the corn on the ground or keep letting it run? Our gun season comes in at the end of next month and we can't hunt over bait, so It only has about 2 full months of running left.
