joebobhunter4 Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 how long can you keep corn out for a deer plot before it starts to rot and mold and have to put new stuff out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how long before? Normally thats not a problem for me since it gets tore up fairly quick. A lot faster then I can keep it out there. LOL The trick is to spread it so its not in piles at all. Piles of feed will trap moisture a lot faster and can ruin it. But corn will be picked over real fast since all critters eat it not just your deer. (Dang Blue Jays, squirrels, and Coons. LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christsavedme Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how long before? Not a problem here either. It only takes a matter of a few days before the deer, turkey, and coons for the most part have it cleaned up! Sorry not much help there!

Guest kyhunter1 Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Re: how long before? The corn shouldn't ruin unless an abnormal amount has been put out. Just about every animal in the woods will assist the deer in eating the corn so it probably wont last long. I prefer to make feeders for my corn. This prevents alot of mishaps. You can make these feeders fairly cheap. Just take some regular white 4 inch plumbing pipe, put a cap on one end and leave the other end open but put it all the ways to the ground when attatched to the tree so that all the corn doesn't come out at one time, cut the pipe about 3-4 feet long (your choice). Then spray them with camo spray paint and your on your way. You can attatch the feeder to the tree with black electrical tape. My feeders require to be filled up about once every 8-10 days. Hope this helps ya out. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
