Most that worry about it think their way is bettr - i just love trying to hunt a deer. Pressure and wind hav always been at the forefront of my hunting even way before any mention of corn going back decades and i hav always like fields - clearcuts and crossings
Just kill the dang deer - nobody cAres about your hero story 🤣🤣🤣. There a lot of different ways to do it - pick a way that is a legal way to kill him and since i am not a nerd - i am not going to care which legal way u pick 🤣🤣
I was doing this crap with dogs when a lot of yall were probably not even born
Just took a camera off a field today - does that make me a bettr hunter 🤣🤣😀 like i care - wish i would hav done pull sooner for pressure reasons
Good luck fellers 😀
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

I been feeding for years regardless of laws . I haven’t kill any deer close to a feeder . All deer I’ve killed has come out of cutover . I keep one feeder out mostly to see what out there . Deer, pigs, coons whatever . Mature bucks in my area will not come to a feeder. Maybe one time during rut an always at night . I killed mature within 1/4 mile of feeder a never seen him near feeder or on any camera . They are just that smart or they wouldn’t live over 4 years here . I’ve caught over 300 pigs at the feeder because I move it around to where pigs are at . Have 2 different traps . I would rather trap hogs any day than kill a big buck . Cameras are a big help for hogs and pre baiting . But for me personally in my area corn and cameras has had zero effect on deer or quality of deer me or my friends have killed . 2nd or 3rd year cutover is the trick .

My corn camera scenario is probably different than you are taking about.
When I used to do the corn camera thing, I had a process. This process was mainly geared at clubs due to the random nature of other member and pressure.
I’d grid off the property that I was hunting into 100 acre sections, and then place a camera with corn within that area where I thought I had the best chance to locate a mature buck. Mainly transitions. The more that came together, the better.
Those cams would only be in said areas for 6-7dys. I was only interested if I had a shooter on days 1-3. This meant “to me”, that this particular buck lived or frequented this area often and wasn’t brought in by feed. After that amount of days, the data didn't mean much. However if there was a really good buck that showed up on days 4-7, then I’d triangulate cams with a little feed in the direction that he was coming from. In hopes to get him in those 1-3dy timeline. Sometimes this worked.
Each week I’d move all my cams to new areas in order to locate more/better deer in effort to build a “hitlist”. Once the hitlist was established, I’d go back in those areas, with corn, for one more week of data closer to season to verify that particular deer was still there. If so, then I’d look into topos, aerials and boots on the ground to figure out how to kill said deer.
This process worked for me every year on taking multiple mature deer in a pressured environment. Corn and cameras.
This is actually a very great idea. I've done similar scenarios. But haven't thought about the triangular piles to find which way he's coming from. I LIKE IT.
