RE: Question
Could be that there is a lot of other food sources in your area that the deer prefer at this time of year. Last winter there was a big acorn crop and the deer wouldn't hardly sniff corn. Give it a week or two and then check it again, strange that the coons, squirrels, birds and other critters havn't found it.

RE: Question
Give it time. Why did you put the camera up so soon after putting the corn out? They are probably stillfreaked out about you being in there. They will eventually find it. There are no acorns yet, so they will hit it. They are feeding now on soft mast and plants. Once the acorns start falling, especially the white oaks, they will eat very little corn.I usually won't put a camera on corn until two or three weeks after they have found it. If you have a feeder, you need to let them get used to it before going in with a camera.

I check my cam once a week and right now I'm only leaving about 15-20 pounds of corn out when I swap memory cards. The corn will be gone in 1-2 days.
