I wouldn't know, I ain't allowed to do it in Indiana... but I do know they LOOOOVE corn, they will hide out in the corn fields until they harvest. I know that my husband has shot both of his nice bucks when there was corn in the neighboring fields.

Corn, corn, corn, and you might want to try a little corn. You can try all the other stuff but corn is the way to go.

Rice Bran. If you can't get where you are or don't want to pay a lil' extra, go with corn.

Most states here in the good ole U. S. of A. make it illegal to bait for deer. However, come spring, if you own the land, plant corn, clover, soybeans, and sorghum. You'll have deer all over the place.

Why feed them?

If you are going to hunt them I would never feed them.I have not seen a real nice deer killed over a bait pile.Mostly just little ones and does.I know there is many guys that feed the deer even in places they are not aloud to.Still dose not seem to help.

If you are feeding them to help them get though the year.Than you need to feed them the thing they live off of.HAY
