Default RE: Hunting over bait

My .002 worth,
We don't like baiting - but - our farm hasn't had food plots in 3 yrs - but - our neighboring farms have corn,beans,clover.

We put out 50lb bags in 5-6 key areas. We spread it out in a long string to prevent mould if rains and encourage more deer to feed. We keep the corn at 50-100yrds+ from any stand. You will almost never get anything but young & dumb deer to come in on bait/feeder closer than 50yrds. We place it so you do not walk over,around or remotely close to your bait. This keeps the baited area scent free and prevents you from getting busted while walking to stand. Stay away from bait/feeders.

I also like to put some crushed apples out around corn or pour a bottle of molasses on bait or on stump near by. That aroma will keep them coming back for days after corn is long gone!
