He keeps all the corn. He picked half during the first part of the season, and the other half after. He's picking whole cobs he sells. I get tractor work in exchange.

Yes, but the farmer does everything with the corn in exchange for tractor work since I don't have a tractor up there. He mows lanes and firebreaks in my old fields. He picks the other half of the corn after the season. I live 10.5 hrs away, so it works out good. If I had a tractor up there, I...

I doubt it would stop it unless the wardens would use drones to check everywhere. Let me vent and pout, LOL 😆

Bringing this back up. I'd love to see the no baiting rule started in Kentucky. My property has fizzled into an absolute ghost town. I've had one deer sighting in the last week. Not many on cameras either. I have one doe that is a semi-regular. My old fields were good earlier, but not the...

You could bend some cattle panels into a upside down U attaching them to the rails of the ladder stand. Cover that with a tarp or similar.

Because I would be grateful to my neighbor if they let me know someone was trespassing on my land if I wasn't aware of it.

Are you sure he is hunting the bigger piece of property without permission? If not, I'd start by finding that out. If it turns out, he is in fact, trespassing, I'd let the landowner he's trespassing on decide how to handle that.

I was off a little. I would have about 8 acres to legally hunt on my 50 acres. I hope that law doesn't come here. Some years, we never rifle hunt. We've only killed 2 deer with rifles off of here, but would hate being told I can't shoot a rifle on my land safely.

That's awesome! Congratulations!

If I couldn't hunt within 300 yards of a dwelling on my 50 acres, I would have maybe 5 acres to hunt on.

Awesome! Congratulations!

My boss does that type of "hunting". I ask him each time how much he paid to shoot it.

I've seen it grow like that, but usually, you're not putting out more than they can eat in a day or two. They'll usually ride back through to feed a lane before it's hunted, sometimes right before.

A little tip of the hat to Texas style hunting.

I would think shrubs would maybe even block shot opportunities right there. I'd sink a tree or post with a vine/branch/rope scrape attached pointing towards your stand to present a broadside or quartering away shot. Or, use some other attractant like a water hole. Something that will make them...

Awesome bucks! Congratulations!

What is he eating in that gif? I don't think you'd need to necessarily plant anything on the trails. Just daylighting them and going in a once or twice a year to spray for invasives and keep it from growing back up could up the browse and point the deer to your plot. Maybe throw some...

I can't imagine. I'm so sorry.

The hooves look like he could have been trying to recover from EHD. Entrance wounds are hard to tell sometimes. Could he have been gut shot? If so, it may have entered on his left side and exited on his right where all the meat and hide are missing. If it entered through his left gut, an...
