clrj3514 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Not sure how many of you can or do bait with corn but it's rumored around here that it could be as high as $10/bushel. I don't know about you all but if this is true we won't be doing much baiting with corn. How's it looking elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I usually buy in bulk......it is MUCH cheaper than buying by the bag. Then I have bins and other large containers to store it in...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm picking up some this evening so I'll let you know later. It was $9.50/bag back in May when we had our annual hog hunt. That's about what it's going for around here now. Ranges from ~9.40 to 9.50/40 lb bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 We usually buy a truckbed load & bag it ourselves. The corn here is pretty scorched in most places so that's not gonna help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swohiodave Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 When I used to hunt a 12 acre plot in an urban area I put out corn otherwise we never had many deer on the property. Now last year I put out 2 corn feeders on a large farm that grows beans and the deer ate up the corn but they never came looking for it and would walk by it at will without stopping. I have mineral blocks out on the farm this year for trail cams and it seems to help but most likely will not use any corn this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 it's around $10 a bag here for whole corn. good thing you can't use it here in NY for baiting deer, it'd be double that knowing this state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHbuckeye1 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 $19.25 for 100 lb bag of shelled corn here in Southeastern Ohio where I normally get mine, if I buy it by the ton I get it for $1.00 off per 100 lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas..... I ws almost driving to your place for that price until I calculated the price per bushel @ $6.56 which is reasonable.

swohiodave Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Go to TSC or someplace other than walmart, I dont think they went up that high yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSeb53 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 yes, corn prices will probably be up this year but i can assure you farmer's won't be reaping the benefits... corn prices are up because of the major drought this year... yeilds are way down... its pretty sad actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestKyTeacher Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Call me crazy but with the price of corn and soybeans I went out and bought 25 acres of hayfield. Then I found a farmer that would pay $125 acre to row crop it. So not only do I get my taxes paid but I also get free corn for the deer! Okay, truth is I didn't want anyone moving in on my hunting ground or building there so I bought it. However, it does do all that for me and I rent the house out for almost the loan payment. If I keep decent renters for 15 years then it is paid for in rent money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just checked at the feed store here the other day, and a 50lb bag of shelled corn is $8.79. That is about 3 dollars higher than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC8point Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Just some yesterday here for $25 per 55 gallon drum so equals out to $3.57 per 50lbs. it was hard to find but it kinda lets you know how much everyone else is making on there corn too.
