    Piles of corn are not crack the deer are not powerless to resist, are they gun hunters who do not pressure their land while you are "sneaking" in while bow hunting?

    Its alot to explain. We have 110 acres sourrounded by 13 other properties and a campground.

    Most are 5-9 acre lots that have been logged with corn piles. Theres a horse farm on one side of me (logged) with pastures and then 2 of my neighbors are hunters with food plots.

    The deer have access to 7-8 seperate feeders/bait stations within a square mile. Its alot of cat and mouse as to which feeder they are bedded near.

    Corn isn't crack but its effective on big bucks. In my mind baiting is no different then food plots. They are put in a specific place to attract and hold deer. You can just move a bait pile closer to the deer if need be. That's about the only difference.

    If acorns are in the woods corn will get hit sparingly that I can almost promise.
