I have had very little experence hunting over corn.
When you put a corn pile in the middle of a green field.
If it gets wet, will the corn sour and the deer will not touch it?
Thanks

The turkeys, crows and coons eat it before it has time to sour

I’ve had corn sour before. I’ve also had it germinate. Deer won’t eat it if it’s soured. I would scatter it and not dump it in a pile if I were you

I think deer prefer it scattered anyway.
They'll walk past a pile and spend hours combing a field for each kernel of scattered corn.

Found this pile on a WMA (where it's still illegal, right?) and it had germinated. Deer had clearly been eating it and there was quite a bit scattered around. But it was placed in an area that had a ton of mast available. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/gdZ4yYh/9f485296-6fa1-48b1-ba04-41d593c6a45e.jpg)

I've had deer eat soured corn we mixed up for hogs. How they stomached that stinking mess is beyond me.

I've hunted in multiple low deer density areas. "Corn pile test" is a great test. If you have a pile of corn rot/sour mildew, run as fast as you can and don't look back. Your deer hunting there will be horrible. It means there's not many deer, and there's not much you can do to fix it.

I have seen deer eat soured soybeans in a pile. You talk about something nasty.

You can fix it but it takes 5-6 years. Ask me how I know 😁

Thanks Scatter it, if you have hogs don’t put it in the middle of the field, they will root the whole thing up

Never pile it up. If you do, they'll stay in one position while they feed. Throw it out loosely and make them move around to get it. Corn won't rot on the ground in the woods. May not be deer activity but it won't stay there and rot. Something's gonna get it very soon.
