    I have been on this spot for about a month and have been getting good pictures of does and bucks hitting the corn. I checked the camera today and the cows that occasionally graze on the farm I am hunting, hammered all of the corn. LOL. I am sure I am not the only person this has happened to, but is there anything that the deer like that cows wouldn't? Sorry as I realize this is likely to be a silly question, but I thought I would throw it to you guys.

    Thanks, Joel

    My dogs ate the molasses I put out behind my house for fun. They have not stopped stinking up the living room all night!

    LOL. This is what I figured the answers would be. Maybe I can try pushing it further back into the woods but it's really not that thick. Oh well, at least I'm getting out and hunting.

    Could you fence the area off? That's about the only way to keep the cattle off it. If they are anything like the cows around me, they will find you no matter where you go. They will find you.... :lol: :biggun:

    MY buddy who outfits puts up fences around his feeders so the cows dont get to close.

    I wish I could but it's not my property, this is the first time they have came out there since I have been on this property. They don't come out when I am out there I guess I just won't be able to put any minerals out.
