not allowed in view of club owned stands to avoid conflict if someone dumps corn out for months then another member kills a deer on it people tend to claim the spots they corn as their own. if you corn you corn in view of your private stand away from everyone else.

I asked a friend about this yesterday, and he told me his club has no feeding within 400 yards of food plots, because they don't want to attract the hogs and have hogs tearing up the plots. Individuals can have their own feeders out if they choose to anywhere away from the plots.
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

Ours are simple. Put corn anywhere you want as long it is in gravity, spin, tube, or covered feeder. First come can hunt it. Most have put feeders in plots.

My question is, if everyone has a secret spot, where they are pouring corn out everywhere, wont that hinder the deer from coming in the fields. They will go to those spots and never have to come into the field. We dont have a hog problem yet so feeding in the field doesnt effect us.
I don't think you'll find the corn piles to be the magic bullet that some think it is. Deer are wild creatures and still live on wild instinct. They presence of bait won't change their habits nearly as much as the influx of human traffic.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

We are baiting in certain locations away from fields with stands overlooking the bait sites. The bait site itself is mainly an inventory location to keep up with what deer are on the property during the season but if someone wants to hunt over them thats fine too.
I actually think that this could HELP some of the food plot hunting by taking some of he major pressure off the plots. In years past with only 11 food plots on 1,000 acres some of our guys who aren't as gungho about getting out and finding acorns and what not would hunt the crapp out of the food plots every time they were down there; thus over pressuring a lot of the plots. Now with bait sites we are able to Double the number of stand locations those guys will hunt, hopefully reducing the amount of pressure on ALL the stands.

Case and point as to why we adopted the no baiting allowed policy. True - we are also a no baiting club, first come first serve, no private areas. We sign out a whole area for the hunt around 200 - 300 acres each area and there is usually a big club foodplot and shooting house in each area. Members can plant small secondary foodplots and put up stands anywhere but its understood that when you sign out an area you can hunt anything you find in that area - I feel like baiting could be the same - we also have some bears and a few hogs and we aren't interested in attracting them further and this is important.

A buddy of mines club has feeders in 20 of the 50 or so plots they have. Everybody paid an extra $100 towards the membership that is earmarked for corn for the feeders. No does can be killed on the plots with feeders. Bucks only. Their feeders are set to go off @ 7am and 5pm. Anyone can hunt them. It's first come first served. There is no corn allowed elsewhere. So far they have killed a handful of bucks going to feeders. They're strict on bucks too. 14" inside with minimum of 3 points on one side. They have around 9000 acres with 36 members.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

Our club put out feeders around the property (mostly off the side interior roads). All are marked on the sighn in board. No other corn is allowed. Hunt them if you want or not.

I run our club and my first response to the new law was that we will continue to have designated feeding stations as before. But after some thought, decided to let them try it for a season, provided everyone bought the permit and was prepared to show it to me if asked. Any method of baiting is permitted, but all sections are available to all members, first come first serve. Made it real clear that the first problem I hear About and we will pull plug on baiting. So far so good.
We have hogs on our south tract and folks have figured out that they are just throwing $$$ away trying to bait that area so most have pulled out there. I just hope they don’t move to our north tract where baiting is plentiful.
