Tips, dos and don'ts, anything to help me with it. How long before hunting new bait area? I never done it and it's legal now. Crazy to think I havent even thought about how. I always hunt acorns, greenfields etc. Thanks for the info

Do you have hogs? If so get ready for them to homestead!!!

Corn, if bating with only corn it may take a day or two to find it. I don’t just dump it in a pile I scatter the bag over a 20-30 ft area.


Mo’bucks, dump it in a pile, I sometimes add a sack of corn to the mix. I’ve had deer in it a hour or two after I put it out

Rice bran, I personally prefer persimmon, and dump it around the base of a tree. I’ve put it out and had deer eating on camera 10 minutes after I left.



I prefer gravity style feeder to mechanical

Flavored rice bran at the base of a tree. Half sack or sack of corn spread out over a large area think of what a pin oak tree drops and try to replicate.

Thank fellas. Might as well take advantage of the new baiting law. The place I hunt now is mostly all pine thickets with lanes planted with rye. I figured some corn spread out will help out a little

Put out a feeder with a timer. Have it put out corn at first light. Have it put out just a little about 3 hours before dark but very little.

If the deer don't find it within a couple of days then you need to put it in a better location.

This will minimize feeding deer and coons at night.

The longer you are there before daylight during morning hunts the better.

Get far enough away so they never bust you.

Most places they will find it in 2-3 days if there are deer around, if you spread it real thin it forces them to work for it instead of just standing there chomping it down. It also makes coons work for it as well and i find bucks are more likely to eat from ground spread bait than a feeder unless it has been there a while.

When I do the koolaid I mix the pre sweetened with the corn. I take an empty sack and separate a sack into two half sacks. I moisten the corn a little and put the mic in and shake it up in the sack ( wear gloves and do it out on the grass so you don’t stain up everything). Spread out

I have sprinkled koolaid but the hogs were snorting it like Tony Montana!!!
We almost only place rice bran on the ground and use protein and corn in troughs and gravity feeders.

I watched a small buck almost choke to death when he snorted up a nose full of rice bran

I watched a coon come eat on a pile of bran I had out years ago near a slough. He would eat for roughly a minute then run like he was on fire to the slough to dunk his head. Walk back like normal and repeat.
