Like Costner said in field of dreams about his Iowa cornfield..."if you bait it they will come...."

I am not sure.  I am opposed to food plots.  The deer around me seem to disagree.

I say invent something new! Take a chance!

Buy a bunch of tablets and strap them to trees with deer mating videos. If that doesn't work, then just go back the boring old school baiting.

I've never been much on live bait. I prefer artificial lures.

I’m trying something new this year. I’m going to be the bait “eat me” lol

I always get a dump trailer full of corn and drop it by my field. Works pretty good. I might start offering corn dumping services for fellow hunters.

How much corn must you eat for you to dump that much corn?

Quite a bit

Just get a big piece of cardboard and cut out a deer pattern  then place it near your spot  .:)

I have some experience with this, all legal.

Nothing beats corn. Deer love it, so do turkeys, and a lot of critters you don't want showing up as well. Fill a feeder and you are good for a couple months, and get a solar battery charger so you don't have to replace batteries on a regular basis.

Wildlife will eat your corn, but they also know humans are putting food out for them, so they are wary. If you are targeting deer, does and small bucks will hit it during the daytime, but good luck getting an old buck to come to it during the day. It takes a while for wildlife to find your feeder and start using it, but once they do, they are usually hooked.

Much cheaper, a LOT less work, and easier overall than dealing with food plots. But if playing in the dirt is your thing, have at it.

So do you suggest night-vison goggles for the big bucks at the feeder?

Honestly, I don't know anywhere in the U.S. where that's legal for whitetails or mulies. Might work in Texas for Axis deer, definitely would work for hogs wherever legal.

I was always told a spot light works best. Sometimes they will even freeze and stare at the light giving you time to get the scope on them and pull the trigger

Who needs to bait..I just hide behind an oak tree and make a noise like an acorn....

[fasteddie]

Tractor Supply and WalMart sell bait ............

[Steuben Jerry]

I try to keep the wind in my face..

[Hock3y24]

Just spray your boots with a vanilla extract in front of your stand, you know for cover scent and all.

[Hock3y24]

But I do buy bait and mineral for PA land. Deer love trophy rocks in summer, molasses or buck jam poured over it on a tree stump. Then just horse sweet feed, not in a pile though.

Takes too long to grow apples... what if I buy potted trees and put apples all around them... who would know

Only works if they're the same style of apple tree

They sell stuff in Dicks and the pictures of those deer on the cover of the bags have MASSIVE RACKS. May want to start with that since it must be legal in NY if it is sold here.

Here I am looking for advice on how to kill more deer and I find conversations about dicks, and bags with massive racks.  Buzzkill.

Just toss a bunch of apples under some pine trees. When DEC finds it, just tell them it's a pineapple tree.

At this point in time ,I would like to call you out for being a wet blanket and posting the law on feeding deer during a joke thread about feeding deer.
