This season?
I put my last 2 bags out yesterday up in Rockingham county.
Total of 1200 pounds of shell corn up in Rockingham and 6 bags of cob corn
20 bags of cob corn in Harnett county
I had to calculate again, had no idea I used that much corn.
My brother put out 4 bags of shell in Harnett also

I forget if it was 3 or 4 bags. Seriously. I just use it to get them to stop at a spot where I can make a shot.

About 425 lbs over the season, BUT I participated in the wildlife observation survey this season and I saw more deer without corn than with. For me,it was a 5:1 ratio over the course of the season, so the other guys I hunt with can throw all the corn out they want to next season, but I’ll stick to the natural food sources & the small food plots and forget the corn.

That's alot of corn,,how many deer did you take?
Just 2. ;)
They were the 2 biggest we had on camera though and when you cant hunt much, then you better be able to keep the deer close is what I learned a long time ago.

-0- in the past 30 years. Just don't see the need.

Leaning towards this myself on most of the properties I can plant plots on .. Hunting in VA this past year with food plots has changed my outlook , didn't realize how much of a draw it really was and it's more beneficial for sure ..but I'll still more than likely use corn on the smaller places I hunt... But I definitely won't be buying as much corn next yr for sure!!

None in Va... killed 5 there

About 200# shell and 500-600# cob.... killed 3 here

I hunt very small urban properties during bow in NC... corn is good until acorns fall.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if they outlawed baiting in NC... deer in VA move much more naturally
