[QUOTE="JArender, post: 5847871, member: 15782"] as someone who hunts in ky, I hate it. The 60acs next to me is leased out to a few guys from florida. They show up 2 weeks before season and pile out corn. then come back a couple weeks later and pile out more to hunt for one week and tag at least two bucks (last year 3) and 2-3 does. my area doesn’t support taking a lot of does. in 5 years (when that farm was long term leased,and I bought mine i’ve shot 1. in that same five years i’ve watched a solid age structure from yearling to 6+ go to where finding a 3yo and 4yo is impossible and we all know 5-6 plus are hard come bys. I spend weeks planting plots and clipping clover and I put corn out when we’re done hunting on my farm. I put corn and protein mix during antler development and fawning time too and when the corn is out deer come out into the plots, and in times like last year when we had a drought and failed plots, they will race to the corn. The only thing corn doesn’t out compete is acorns. Those guys from florida probably wouldn’t tag three bucks a year. i’m sure they’d still get one or two but at least they’d have to hunt. The guy across the road is an “outfitter”. when he has to he will put a hunter on his 70 acres and he has corn piled year round on it and one 1/2 acre plot. sure you can argue my plots aren’t hunting but when you mostly archery hunt there is a huge difference hunting trails to the plot or plot edges of 3-5acre plots vs a pile of corn. as a Tennessean who plans to sell his ky farm in the next three -four year and buy a small place back in tn I hope this fails!
