My Cousin just informed me today. He has 20 Acres South of Town. Gave me the combination to Lock, told me to hunt it.
Is it to late to Put out Corn, Etc? It has 300 acres "hunted", on one side. 1200 acres, Leased on the other.
My Cousin said he doesnt have time to fool with 20 acres as he hunts South-Tx.
Thanks for any advice.

Really just depends on the area. From my experience deer out west respond far quicker to new feeders (like over night) than deer in east Texas.

I just put mine out the last week of Nov along with a camera to see what's out there. You could always just sit out on a trail and see what walks by. The same day I put the corn out I sat on a trail on the other side of the property and saw a 6 pointer.

Never to late to put corn out for them. They will find it.
If I'm not hunting something I must be dead.

Never too late, I hunted one area on the property that hasn't been hunted or fed for a couple years, filled up the empty feeder that was out there and it took about a week for the deer to find the feeder.

Thank you for the advice.
Update:
No feeder. Just strung out a bag along a draw.
Tons of tracks from the recent weather.
8 bales of coastal-bales and a tarp for a blind.LOL.
Bout 60 yrds away uphill.
Be in there tomorrow evening.

A coffee can full of corn before every hunt is all you need... just spread it out, and wait for 'em.
