Talking Sweet Feed or Corn!?

I have some private land in Florida and Got the deer coming in on corn I have nothing else but corn there. So I want to make sure the nice buck I have coming in stays. There isn't a way I can plant a plot, So how do I keep him coming back. Hes A Huge 7 point. Especially for Florida and He probally scores 110. I Herd a fella talking about how he would start feeding him Sweet Feed for Like cattle or something. Would anyone try this, and/or has anyone already tried this and what success did you have?

My brother has tried it, it started to get moldy before the deer hit it of course it was a new area so they hadnt been going there on a regular basis. Our deer got corn all around and they still hit up that corn but I don't bait to often.

when we first moved to the tract of property we live on now i wanted to see if/what kinda deer we had in the area, i put corn out for two months with nothing but coons showing up, tried a bag of 10% sweet feed and in less than a week deer were showing up real regular...the down side, ants, they like it too

now i just plant it, don't hunt here though, the wife enjoys watching the deer

Why stop using corn when that's what he is coming to in the first place....

Exactly. If he's coming to corn, keep feeding him corn.

Keep using corn and leave that gimmick junk alone. The only product more effective than corn in Florida is acorns

great point, if you got some white oaks that you can gather and freeze for later the deer will walk thru a pile of corn to get to them
