Corn piles

[fairview]

How long should 100 lbs of corn last? My brother and I put out 1,200 lbs a week every Saturday at our farm. Usually 100 lbs per pile. It is all gone on all the stands by weds.

Do you have pigs?

[fairview]

No pigs. Plant food plots and corn.

Kill some does

[GobblerHntr]

Put a camera on the pile and see what's eating your corn

[GobblerHntr]

If it's just deer then YALL need to kill some damn deer

[ersepton]

Dang dude, that's around $150 a week. I would suggest feeders, one time expense that will make your corn last a lot longer.

Good gosh and I feel dumb for buying a couple 50lb bags.

Glad I've got hundreds of acres of white and red oaks

Need help? I love slinging arrows.

[surfcock]

Put me down too. Arrows or 150 grain Corelokt. Whichever you prefer I bring.

Good lord, thats a boat load of corn. Do you just drop 100# in a pile at each stand?

[Luvin' Labs]

Coons and turkeys. Shelled or cob?

Make less piles and put out 300 lbs per stand minimum. Don't bait as many stands.

If you can do it, either go feeders or hand feed every other day a limited amount of corn.
You're promoting 24 hour feeding by putting that much corn on the dirt at once.

My first thought as well.

We run 5 or 6 cameras, all deer except the occasional coon and turkey. We use cobbed corn to feed. We have tried one or two feeders but never seemed they used them that much.

My first year having a corn pile. No hogs (yet).

Right now, everything seems to be ignoring it. I was hunting over the corn last night and watched a coon walk right by it without partaking.

This corn pile is under a big oak tree under which I've been hunting for > 20 years. I've heard that when acorns are dropping they will ignore corn. True???

That's what they have done in my case for 3 weeks now.

I am on the North Edisto near Wagener. I am putting 150 pounds (shell) a week on my honey hole stand next to swamp every week. It usually last all week but needs more by Saturday or Sunday. It draws in a lot of does and young bucks. Been able to take a real nice buck or two from that stand every year. No hogs and good herd balance, just a lot of activity on that old logging road. So yes I can see how they would eat that much, just would not do that many stands.
