As a FL and AL hunter, I just don't get it! I can hunt right over my corn in FL. But in AL, I cannot. I shoot just about the same amount of deer either way and in both places!

I don't get that I can plant corn stalks in July and have corn pretty much for the first half of the season all over the place due to those corn stalks being dragged all over my plot by the coons etc... And that's legal. But I can't sprinkle 2 kernels of corn on the ground myself?

The way AL regs are now, it's simply ridiculous. Either allow it and allow people to hunt over it or don't allow corn at all!!!!

Whether you like it or not, corn is an attractant and will draw deer in, just as well as a good food plot! Deer need more than corn and actually desire a balanced diet. So corn alone will not do it. If you have corn out, you need to still hunt the acorns and other food sources! I have a feeder out on my AL property and it's a legal feeder! I have shot deer that are on their way to that area. And I have had them walk right past the corn to come to my plot!

It's not something magical. But it does create a lot of confusion in the laws with the way it's written right now.
