RE: Hunting techniques that don't work for your area
Bucks over Bait. I've never seen a buck at a corn pile. (Although my wife spotted one on a PSE video-you could even see the birds eating it. The guy on the video made out like he had been tracking this buck for days!). A lot of local hunters in N Wisc. get big bucks over bait but I think they put out truckloads of the stuff daily (highly illegal!). I usually only bait in the late season and have yet to see a buck at a pile.
