Just subscribed. I agree! I found pouring corn in small piles works better than only a feeder. In fact, I shot both bucks this Fall that came into a small pile of corn a ways off from my feeder. -Jeff/Deerhearse Channel
Scatter it don’t pile it. Nothing in nature puts food in a giant pile. Deer are much calmer feeding on bait that’s scattered plus they’re more likely to eventually turn at the right angle for a shot.
I scatter it for a month or so and start piling it up when they are used to that area. Then I pour some liquid rage apple shit in the corn twice a week. 15 days before the season I’ll dumb 3 bags in a pile and pour and entire gallon of that shit on the corn. By the time the season starts there ain’t no bait there whatsoever so I can legally hunt it
I pile mine always have and never had any issues taking deer , one truck I do is leave my regular worn clothes out never my stand or blind and exchange them weekly so my scent becomes a non threatening smell , no need to waste money on covering my scent
Try a big bottle of artificial vanilla flavoring with a pin hole in the safely seal after you removed the screw of cap... that way, you can squeeze the plastic bottle and make it squirt out 10 or 15 feet. They will absolutely bush hog, anything that has gotten the vanilla flavor on it's greenery... I honestly believe that they would eat a car tire if you poured it on it.
To get deer coming to a new spot i mix apple corn in with the regular corn. It has a strong aroma they can smell a long ways away and the apple helps. If there are no apple trees it doesn't matter. They will come! Once i watch the camera for a week and there's some nice bucks I'll add rice bran pellets, cattle cubes 12 % and 20% . They love it ! Sometimes I'll put out alfalfa bales in the spots too and if hood spots I'll put minerals and water troughs. They drink them gone ! If they have everything in one spot they don't go far except to look for love ... lol. But late season they really hit the food to recover from the rut and by then not a lot in the woods for them .
Thanks for sharing all of that. Ive always wondered about putting alfalfa bales out to see if the bucks would come. I also recommend putting some minerals down. Food & water the ultimate combo. The late season has always been tricky where I hunt. For some reason it's not as easy to get the buck in like early season. I think that's mostly due to hunting pressure and lack of cover.
@Outdoord they like alfalfa best if you really break it up and spread it all around, I buy compacted alfalfa bales at tractor supply, it's really compressed so small but you cut it open it's a lot. I have bucks I've never seen or no pictures of come to the food late season, either because they're hungry or they'll follow a yearling doe to the corn. Bow season ends in Oklahoma January 15th. I shot a 157 10 pt on January 13th and another year a 140s 10 pt on January 15th. So never give up!!
@@SuperDave-pe1zw Im going to have to try that. Our bow season ends the end of January. Both solid bucks congrats! Ive never harvested one that late in the season. You never know for sure I usually put the beans and corn down like I do early season but don't have as much luck.
Spray everything around the corn & thre corn with vanilla flavoring / water in spray bottle and it will attract deer for miles and when u go hunt spray more vanilla and if u spray the bucks will come your way ...
I find that to be mostly hunting pressure that causes that. It could also be that there is not enough cover for the bucks to hit it during daylight. I try to place mine on the edge of cover so they have a safe area to stage and scent check before they come in. Heavy cover and placement is key. It could also be that the bucks are coming from far away and it takes them too long to get to it before night fall. Early season in my opinion gives you the best chance at getting them to come in daylight. It's a lot more cover around and it's just easier. There is also no hunting pressure at that time. There are a lot of factors involved. If you are just after bucks you can try and back track and hunt the direction they are coming from to try and intercept them before it's too dark. All bucks are different too so that play into everything as well.
Great question I would start out with a 50lb bag. If you are not close to where you hunt I would put 2 bags down. Hang a trail camera. Depending on location it can take a week or 2 for deer to show up. Depending whether you are looking for bucks or not they can take longer and are more complicated as far as placement. Once deer start hitting it depending on how many deer eat it consistently you will have to make adjustments. A cellular trail camera will help you gauge how much corn is still around. There is really no right or wrong to it, you just want to make sure you keep enough down because other wildlife eats it especially if it's on the ground. If the corn isn't consistently available the deer will find other food sources. I hope that helped!
Putting out corn etc. or standing soybeans, standing corn, brassicas - cereal grains - clover kill plots, apple trees, persimmon trees etc. etc. six is one half a dozen is the other. Holier than Thou Karens worry about your own self. -W. Liggett
When you put a camera on your bait pile I assume it's a cell one and was just wondering what setting you put your trigger delay on. Mine is on 30 seconds
I usually put out just a regular trail camera in the beginning. I will transition to cellular as the season gets closer and if I have a target buck. My Delays change depending on activity. The first couple of weeks I will have less of a delay on. I have had up to a 5 minute delay but you can also miss deer that way. It's kind of a toss up to avoid squirrels and raccoons birds etc. If I feel like I have a shooter than I will put on less of a delay and try to pin point him. Another tip too you can put some more cameras out not directly on the bait on the main trails coming to and from and usually catch the bucks that way without draining your trails camera batteries on the bait pile. When I really want to make sure I dont miss anything 30 second to a minute is good you just get a lot of other stuff too lol. Especially when you have had the bait out for at least a few weeks. It also usually takes the bucks a few weeks to find the corn and then to hit it more consistently takes some time as well. I hope that helped LMK!
@@ronhali3164 Batteries are a big one yes the energizer lithiums are the best for cold and hot temps. They last longer and won't bust in your cameras. They are worth the extra money. I run all brownings and have several review videos on my channel if you want to check them out. If you want to go cellular Browning has several good options.

Try some corn or Big Tine Feed, they have the fortified deer blend and the protein plus. They have both worked for me. Placement is important too. See if that works for you.
How many yards would you recommend putting treestand from bait pile? Want to be able to sneak out of stand after dark. How do you sneak out of stand after dark if deer are on pile? Thanks
I think a lot of hunters hunt too close to the corn pile. Use the terrain to your advantage if your goal is to get a buck. Find a spot where it's hard for them to get behind you and wind you. The way mine is setup the deer come from out in front of me and not behind me so I can get down without them knowing. The key would be to wait until all the deer leave then get down. Hunting the trails to and from the food is an effective strategy as well. Set your trail cameras out and see which trials they are using then setup that way. You still want to be in bow range no matter which way you chose to set your stand. I hope that helped!
@@craigwagner327 Yes, if that's the way you chose to hunt it. And or the trails coming to and from the food. A lot of it depends on where your corn pile is and what trees are available if any. If I knew a little bit more details about your property I might be able to help you out a bit more.
@Outdoord i wish you were in the northwest ohio area sometime then I could show you but that's probably a ways from you. It's hard to explain the situation. Also, when I dump bait, it seems like the corn bags make a lot of noise. Does that scare the deer or do they get used to it? I am dumping bait 100 yards in from edge of woods and I am about 60 to 70 yards away from a 1/4 acre thicket in the middle of the woods that I'm pretty sure they bed in
@@craigwagner327 our season usually starts around the first week of September. My goal is to get one down on opening day of bow. I put enough down to last about a week in the season. After the first couple of days of bow season in my area the hunting pressure, acorns and fall transition play a major role in very limited opportunities.
@@mothmindset1106 It depends on what your goals are and your specific area. If your just looking for meat or does then they can get on it pretty quick. Put a trail camera out and check it and go off of that. Ground Blinds can be effective it depends on your setup though and cover.
Good video. I have to agree and disagree with you. Yes putting corn on the ground works. Yes not in a low spot. For me i have man made feeders with roofs. For me it took a little bit to get big bucks in. For me i do not and will not throw protein on the ground. To expensive and expensive. I mix my corn and protein every week.
Good point a lot of other things eat the expensive stuff. I may in the future try something like you explained. It is super expensive to keep the good stuff down!
@@Outdoordwish I could load picture of the feeder I built me. I built mine with half plastic barrel with roof. But I would make the post 7 foot tall. So deer feel more comfortable walking up to it.
Then when the wardens start giving these guys a hard time they call call thier lawyers and put harassment charges against the DNR then they never see them again because they are too scared of getting a harassment complaint and lawsuit against thier department
That Walmart applecorn an two koolaid packets once in awhile. Sometimes i just throw random veggies out as I am walking out an it works. I am no very consistent but it seems to work for curies deers walking by in the area.
I bait anyways …. Wardens are too lazy to actually get out and walk anywhere 🤣🤣🤣 I know guys who have beat charges in court 5-6 times and you should see the wardens faces Boy do they ever get mad 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like the reason for this some people like having everything they need for a hunt so they don’t have to make an stops along the way some people travel to different states to hunt the only thing they have to stop for is to fuel up go straight to the lot also the stores selling it make money off of it unfortunately there’s people that either take advantage or just don’t know the law and will still bait illegally I live in Texas where we can bait on private property but not public land
Just because somebody hunts bait doesn't mean they don't hunt without it. Take away hunting natural food sources, corn fields, beans fields etc. then a lot of hunters would be unsuccessful. A lot of hunters hunt bait and are successful, they also use it to take inventory. I think that decision should be left to the individual hunter and what their personal goals are. I also think saying that it's not hunting is an opinion. Which I see not much difference if a hunter hunts food sources at all. Thanks for sharing.
Man…. Fishing with fishing lures is straight up cheating for real. You should be catching fish by spear or nets. Brother, every generation says the same type thing about something they don’t personally do. “you shoot a compound bow ! Man that’s cheating. I have been shooting a recurve bow just like my father did his whole life” If people are baiting legally and hunting responsibly I’m just happy they are still outdoors and able to provide for their families. We need hunters of all kinds 👍
It's definitely a debatable topic. It's legal in most states and can be a very effective way to hunt and harvest deer. Nothing is guaranteed though, and it is also a lot of work if you do it consistently. It's also not cheap. Effort, time and preparation all go into earning one opportunity. It's not an easy way out in my opinion because I have done it enough to know. A lot of things still have to go right. I think most people can agree that its not much different then hunting a natural food source/corn field or bean field. However, not everyone has access to farms that set up that way. I can respect both sides of it, but we all have the choice to make the decision on how we want to hunt. That choice should always be available at the hunters discretion. Whatever makes the hunter happy i'm all in for. How we individually pursue and hunt deer and what challenges/goals we set for ourselves should always be an individual choice not what someone else thinks. Always hunt within the law of course!
I disagree, but respect your opinion. We can't bait in NH, I hunt for meat and will kill a doe if the opportunity presents itself. The last thing I want to do is kill a doe with a 6 month old fawn because the fawn will not survive. If I could hunt over bait I'd have the time to wait and see if a fawn showed up, or to see which doe the fawn belonged to. As Outdoord stated " That choice should always be available at the hunters discretion."
I disagree. Hunters who bait deer pay to support conservation through buying a hunting license just like all the other hunters. It's their right and freedom of choice on how they want to hunt. We shouldn't discourage anyone from the sport. There are multiple benefits to it most importantly helping a tag get filled to feed someone's family. I personally bait deer in the early season and the cost of it alone is a big commitment. I think it's the opposite of lazy considering the work it takes to do it consistently and effectively. It's earned just like any other style of hunting it takes work and it doesn't guarantee anything. Not everyone agrees with it and 'im ok with that. We dont have to. I think something to keep in mind is that everyone's situation and property is different. At the end of the day the corn that we put out comes from the same corn fields that many hunters hunt over. I personally don't see a difference. Thanks for voicing your opinion on it. Conversation is always a good thing so people can help understand each other.
If you use the feeder it's way less expensive. If you don't have bucks showing to your feeder your doing something wrong. Adjusting time,duration, and placement will get it sorted out.
I used a feeder when I first started bow hunting a few years back the bucks didn't mind it. I think location is everything. Then I noticed in my area they preferred it on the ground so I have done that ever since. Both ways can work, and good point the feeders help with other things eating the corn before the deer. Thanks for sharing all of that!

Man…. Fishing with fishing lures is straight up cheating for real. You should be catching fish by spear or nets.
Brother, every generation says the same type thing about something they don’t personally do. “you shoot a compound bow ! Man that’s cheating. I have been shooting a recurve bow just like my father did his whole life”
If people are baiting legally and hunting responsibly I’m just happy they are still outdoors and able to provide for their families. We need hunters of all kinds 👍

Bait is unethical.
It's definitely a debatable topic. It's legal in most states and can be a very effective way to hunt and harvest deer. Nothing is guaranteed though, and it is also a lot of work if you do it consistently. It's also not cheap. Effort, time and preparation all go into earning one opportunity. It's not an easy way out in my opinion because I have done it enough to know. A lot of things still have to go right. I think most people can agree that its not much different then hunting a natural food source/corn field or bean field. However, not everyone has access to farms that set up that way. I can respect both sides of it, but we all have the choice to make the decision on how we want to hunt. That choice should always be available at the hunters discretion. Whatever makes the hunter happy i'm all in for. How we individually pursue and hunt deer and what challenges/goals we set for ourselves should always be an individual choice not what someone else thinks. Always hunt within the law of course!
I disagree, but respect your opinion. We can't bait in NH, I hunt for meat and will kill a doe if the opportunity presents itself. The last thing I want to do is kill a doe with a 6 month old fawn because the fawn will not survive. If I could hunt over bait I'd have the time to wait and see if a fawn showed up, or to see which doe the fawn belonged to. As Outdoord stated " That choice should always be available at the hunters discretion."
I too like to fish with a bare hook.
@@sayimsgt4953 Whatever floats your boat lol. I also hunt that way as well depending on where I am hunting and the time or year. Thanks for sharing.
@@Outdoord I was trolling the dude that thought baiting was unethical. I live in coastal NC and go through 150# a week during the season.
Baiting deer isn't hunting. Baiting deer is just killing for lazy people who shouldn't have a hunting license.
I disagree. Hunters who bait deer pay to support conservation through buying a hunting license just like all the other hunters. It's their right and freedom of choice on how they want to hunt. We shouldn't discourage anyone from the sport. There are multiple benefits to it most importantly helping a tag get filled to feed someone's family. I personally bait deer in the early season and the cost of it alone is a big commitment. I think it's the opposite of lazy considering the work it takes to do it consistently and effectively. It's earned just like any other style of hunting it takes work and it doesn't guarantee anything. Not everyone agrees with it and 'im ok with that. We dont have to. I think something to keep in mind is that everyone's situation and property is different. At the end of the day the corn that we put out comes from the same corn fields that many hunters hunt over. I personally don't see a difference. Thanks for voicing your opinion on it. Conversation is always a good thing so people can help understand each other.

If you use the feeder it's way less expensive. If you don't have bucks showing to your feeder your doing something wrong. Adjusting time,duration, and placement will get it sorted out.
I used a feeder when I first started bow hunting a few years back the bucks didn't mind it. I think location is everything. Then I noticed in my area they preferred it on the ground so I have done that ever since. Both ways can work, and good point the feeders help with other things eating the corn before the deer. Thanks for sharing all of that!
