This is an experiment to see if I can even further simplify the process. I’m trying to simulate mob grazing with cattle. I’m trying to draw all my local deer in and have them beat down that hay as they walk around searching and picking out the corn so that it removes the overstory and releases my sprouting seeds underneath. It will also make for one helluva bow hunting spot over the next couple weeks. Most folks just put their corn out in a pile or in a feeder and sit over it……. but its far more effective if you’ll put it in a bag spreader and spread it out over a large area around your stand. I think it feels more natural instead of feeling like their walking into an ambush spot.
Interesting. Might I suggest that adding some dry molasses to the spread would do a couple of things for you: 1. Fertilize the area and 2. Draw the deer quicker. People talk about Milorganite repelling deer due to its smell. Dry molasses attracts deer due to the sweet smell.
