When I'm hunting I normally take several hand fulls and sprinkle a thin trail of corn down the ranch roads and senderos that I'm hunting down. When I'm rifle hunting, I will normally pour out a few pounds of corn about 100 yards from where I'm sitting. All the stores down here sell 50 & 100 pound sacks of shucked corn, thats what I use. Using corn that is still on the cob is only good if your squirrel hunting
