I love using corn to get cam pictures, but it is about $8 for a 50 lbs bag now! Any other kind of feed a person can use that is a little more economical than corn? I do have salt licks near my corn, but want some feed to put in front of my corn.

popcorn, marshmellows, grapes, crackers,coming from a state that allows hunting over bait, we have tried everything. Get you a large can peanut butter, and put a woodscres in the hard plastic cap, screw it into a tree, then screw the top onto the lid that is attached to the tree and cut the bottom out of the peanut butter container, from then on all you have to do is get the same size container, and screw it onto the lid. Only problem, is coons will work on it too, but the deer will be there also.
Corn is hard to beat, but try finding a farmer that has some stored in the bins, he may sell it to you at market price. I once got about 800lbs free, cause I went by a farmers house and asked if he had any corn. He told me that I could have all that was in one of his bins, just to save him the trouble of cleaning it out. He had just sold it the day before, and there was about 1 inch of corn on the floor of the bin. I shoveled it all out and was dead tired, but I got one heck of a deal.
