Lmao

private land only is what i read earlier but who knows till we see the finalized version in print.



Oh thats coming. its a given.

Sooooo....A guy puts out corn in a clearcut all year long but another member hunts it while the other guy is at work? Tough schit!!! What are you going to tell him that is your clearcut??? Come on man, it isn’t all about you and the $5.00 you spent on the corn!!

My land has basically one rule, do not be selfish in your hunting efforts and do not disrupt anyone else’s hunt by being selfish. If you don’t want someone hunting where you have “a spot” then either get your own lease or buy some land. Now as for clubs, if money has already been paid, there could be a problem this season with those not wanting to hunt near corn. However, clubs should decide how they are going to handle it for the next year.

As for me, I will do anything to help the wildlife, supplemental feeding is just one part of the equation. I will take food plots and mineral stations all day over corn. Right now the bucks are hammering the minerals. If you really want good deer, go hop on a tractor and put out some soybeans or cow peas right now. Those of you who have been fortunate enough to have been able to chase white tails in other states know as well as I do that corn is not a magic potion. You don’t just pour it out and expect 160” bucks to come running. In Alabama, our bucks for the most part tend to be much more sensitive to pressure. So I don’t believe that corn is going to change that. You will definitely see deer more consistently but as far as seeing big bucks, it could go either way. Having said that, I have in fact killed big bucks in Texas where corn was being slung. Different deer, different habitat.

.338 help me here......please stop the drama!!! That is why I go hunting to get away from drama,,,

Some hunting camps are worse than sorority houses when it comes to creating drama...

Could always doit like texas....yeye

You would think but I know several 150+ inch deer mature deer that have met their fate in a pile of corn

Of course, you would never see a mature buck like this 5.5 year old at a corn pile -



or this 6.5 year old -



Or this one standing right beside my feeder -

As someone who has hunted over corn for years...I mean I know someone who has hunted over corn for years, trust me it doesn't work anyway...he said it doesn't work anyway.

I was hoping it wouldn't pass but it did so we'll act accordingly. We've never baited except in front of cameras. We've always tried to have the best food plots around and also did a fair amount of summer planting. Over the years I have killed good mature bucks, 120-140"+ on green fields. We will continue to plant spring and fall because of the benefit to the critters.
I feel like it will be necessary to maintain feeders now or be at a disadvantage to people that do if you don't. I could be wrong but I'm not going to chance it and well just have to deal with it and come up with a plan to do it and maintain it

The 144 I shot in Kansas came to a feeder. At mid-morning. In the wide open.

He must've not gotten the memo about being nocturnal.

I've hunted Kansas around feeders, and have friends that have been going to the same place for over 10 years. I have killed 2 bucks and they have killed a few truckloads of them. Some of these were 160"+, and one was over 200" . Not one of them has been shot at a feeder.

That’s Kansas. These Alabama deer see corn and automatically go to sleep. I’ve walked up on them asleep in the corn pile while checking cameras.

That’s because those Texas and Georgia deer are stupid an Alabama deer won’t come with in 300 yards of a feeder in the day light

Until said doe at the feeder comes in heat....

I wouldn't allow feeders on any fields or within sight of a club owned stand if you want to bait do it in the woods and away from every body else. pretty much just keep on doing what everyone has been doing when it was not legal. If I did have club owned feeders no one would be allowed to hunt them to keep down the bitching.

And we all know people in clubs follow rules
Most clubs could make that rule and put up the feeders and by 2nd weekend of season there would be shooting lanes cut and stands 25 yards from the feeder, or feeders up and moved closer to the fields.

Ima gonna get an ATV spreader and sling golden nuggets everywhere! Its raining corn!

All Seasons road feeder, bud! That's what I use for my seeding, fertilizing, and feeding activities.
