Corn Pile Hunter

[Hickory Nut]

Ran across this scene a couple weeks ago while squirrel hunting.

It is funny that Wal-Mart is stocked up with "deer corn" right when season starts. My guy at Williamson County Co-op said they sold out of corn the weekend bow season started. I just don't understand why someone feels proud of killing something over a pile of corn. If they are desperate to feed themselves or their family I would be happy to take them hunting or kill one and give to them. My neighbor had piles everywhere a couple years ago and an automatic feeder. I put a stop to that quick.

X2! It would be funny if thats a corn field behind him!

Just maybe they are not bow hunting. The stand appears to have just been put up and they are trying to see if any deer ARe in the area or wanting to get the trophy rock going.

probably people who dont bowhunt using it to take inventory of their bucks before real hunting begins. i am putting out 200 pounds more tomorrow

I think your definition of "real hunting" may slightly differ from mine. If you would take the time to scout you would see that oak trees are preferred over corn right now. You don't have to waste $40 that way.

i think if he was a bowhunter, he wouldnt be a huge obvious ladder stand, at that low of a height

I have been wide open only 12 feet up a tree and had plenty in bow range. That isn't a very logical statement.

no reason to trample and scent up my woods. i purchased this property, locked the gate and will let the corn roll till rifle or till 10 days of before rifle.

Awfully difficult to exceed expectations without proper scouting. Hoping they will come to where those corn piles are/were isn't very promising.

they are located on the edges of secluded food plots (oak, wheat, brassicas, turnip, clover) on the lincoln county line, in fields crawling with uneducated/unharrased does. I will take my chances

You would think they would find a sturdier tree to put there stand lol what part of Lawrence co. You from?

yep with a shooting rail. that is no bowhunter

 

[rem270]

So im not getting this story... You were squirrel hunting and came across this stand? Is this your property and someone has a stand on your property? Or are you hunting on someone elses property?

most people are not bow hunting at 12 foot

Then why do you need corn to get pics? There are bound to be trails and routes they are following.

All of my ladder stands have shooting rails and I bowhunt out of them. Once again, I have to question your logic?

That is a 16' ladder stand at minimum.

answer????

Pefectly legal if he isn't hunting it

You are correct rem270. I was squirrel hunting and came across this scene. I was hunting a piece of property I have permission to hunt on. I was taking a short-cut back to the truck and crossing someone else's field. I don't know the owner. I thought the whole thing looked odd. A new stand put up in an obvious place, a big pile of corn with a trophy rock in the middle of it, 20 feet from the stand. It was the weekend before the archery season opened. My first notion was that someone was trying to bait deer. I thought I would put this photo up on thi site and see what comments from other deer hunters would be.

for positioning. why do you care, if people are not hunting over it. TWRA dont.

lol. i think trespasssing is a more serious offense than baiting

scared of heights?

Im sure your a good, honest person but whether i was legal or not i'd be one pissed off person if you posted a pic of my stand when you didnt have permission to be on my property. You might want to delete this post. You just admitted to tresspassing and not knowing the owner

 

[monsterbuck07]

This is classic......Maybe baiting....more than likely definitely trespassing. Good stuff!
