Why not just plant an acre of corn? NWTF surplus seed for $40 per bag. Maybe $125 for fertilizer and $20 for glyphosate. An acre would yield around 100 bushels x 56 lbs/bushel = 5600 lbs of corn(maybe more if you have good soil and adequate rainfall) that you can hunt LEGALLY. One year I ran a tiller through the middles and top seeded it with oats after dry down and added a little more fertilizer. Deer would be in it when I came to the stand and when I left at 11am and be there again at 2pm when I came back. You must not have many animals for an acre to make it through hunting season. Either way, both are hunting by aid of feeding. Actually we are overrun with deer, which is why I don't waste time planting plots anymore. If someone doesn't have good enough hunting skills to kill deer on this property they need to take up golf. A neighboring farmer has a year round permit and has killed over 100 deer in his soybeans in the last few years. I just see 15 does and fawns in the mornings instead of 30 and the usual 7 or 8 different bucks. I just wonder if there are so many deer on a property that would eat up 5600lbs of corn why you would have to use bait to harvest them instead of hunting natural food sources. Never had an acre of corn make it that long on our place. I've got one place I think an acre would make it...if it were up to the deer. Coons and squirrels eat an acre though before Feb. There are 4 pigs in it now and they are about to leave one way or another.
