Looking for help new lease. Best way to draw deer in?

Lots and Lots of corn in an area they feel comfy hanging around.

Put feeder where deer are.

put corn in it and let it do its thing, they will come. usually wont take em very long! where is ur new lease?

Jack county about 10 miles west of Jacksboro.

How much is alot of corn. what about mineral licks?

Horse and mule feed (sweet feed) works good to establish a feeder area. Just don't put it in the feeder. The hogs, deer, cows, horses, birds, and anything else in the woods will wear that stuff out. You'll even be tempted to pour some in a bowl with milk on it, but it don't taste as good as it looks to humans.

a good thing to do would be to getcha a 50# bag, carry it out to where ur feeder is, and just walkin a straight line in any direction, and start making a LITE trail with the corn. then go back to the feeder and go the other way. make a few trails that lead up to the feeder. deer will come. u dont need anything but corn!

Corn, corn, corn, and more corn. Since the place is new to you I'd have my feeder go off 4 times a day for a week or so. And the comment about taking a 50# bag and make a trail leading to the feeder is a good idea also. Are there cattle on the place? If not you will be able to see how much corn the deer are eating when you put it out. We feed Indian corn because the deer really seem to like it and stay at the feeder longer, and longer. Good luck with the new place.

you can also scout the lease, see if you can tell where the last hunters were running feeders. It won't take long for deer to find a spot they have been fed before.

seems like deer find our new spots pretty quickly, but the locations that have been feeding year after year get more activity.

try Indian Corn. The deer really seem to like it, and they stay at the feeder longer.

actually, just put a LINK on Yahoo maps; that way when the local deer search for it, they will find it faster . . . .

If you put the feeder in an area of deer, it can only take a single day sometimes for them to start hitting it.

Build a big cage around your feeder and trap the deer in there. HAHAAH.. sorry... could not help it.

Hey guys, my lazy dad puts his feeder up the day before the season starts and kills a good 8 or ten on opening day every year on a deer lease that aint all that great.Sometimes i wonder.....its just tooo easy sometimes aint it?If ur feeder is up a few weeks before the season starts and u dont see a few deer opening weekend...well hopely u got a good pond to fish in out there.

Where can you buy indian corn around fort worth

A few years ago, I bought my place and it didn't close until after rifle season started. I had put in the stipulations for purchase that I would be able to hunt while waiting for the land to close. Some poor guy lost his lease...sorry. I put up a couple of feeders and saw more deer that year than the other two years that I have hunted the place. I still see plenty of deer, but I have not had the numbers that I saw the first year. Do you think it has something to do with my neighbor (bought property the same year that I did) throwing 500-1000 lbs of corn out every few days before the season starts? Thank God I can over there, too.

One year I got on a lease too late to build a blind or feeder. I picked out a hill that overlooked a small clearing. When I arrived at the lease on Friday night, I would put out a sorghum block and pour a jar of Old Grandma's molasses over it. It attracted more deer than the corn feeders.

Put it under a live oak tree.

There will be posts on here shortly abouit "darm acorns"..."deer aren't coming to my feeder" or "corn us growing ubder my feeder", etc.
