Hand Corning ?

[Chad C]

Kinda funny how I do it.....I hold the coffee can in one hand, and scoop it out with the other. But, I time it with my walking so it falls on the toe of my right boot as I lift my foot to walk. In my opinion, it's quieter and it spreads it out much better that throwing on both sides of me, and it uses less corn. Just something weird I do!

I carry it out in a gallon Ziploc, pour it out and put the Ziploc in my pocket. I.was always worried about scent being on anything I carry and this seems to be good for me.

Or a plastic shopping bag filled about halfway. The deer prefer it from a Target bag, but will grudgingly accept a Walmart bag. Seriously, the Ziploc bags are quieter when you put them into your pocket, so I prefer a Ziploc when I have one handy.

The deer are always more comfortable eating the hand corn thrown with my hand vs jumping in the feeder pen. They will eat it first then get in the pen.

Plastic bag from HEB or Wally World...sometimes I have to hand toss it...most of the time the bag tears when I get there so I say a fittin' cuss word and pour it out the bag...

Thanks to all of you that replied. I've been wondering this as well. I've been using a bucket I carry with me and just reach in and grab it.

[kraigrrr]

I pour it out if the sack

While I have never had a deer have a problem with corn thrown by my hand, I have had pigs bust me by scent with hand thrown corn.

Carry it in a small two gal. bucket... or old pillow case, if you want to be quiet, and throw it by hand , spreading it out real good.

This makes them work for it, and keeps them there longer. And that’s the whole point, to keep them there as long as you can.

If you just pour it out in a line, they will eat, and be gone.

As for getting your scent on the corn….it doesn’t matter one bit if you touch it with your hands…

I have hand spread corn for years, my uncles years before that. I usually wear gloves though but just to protect my hands not for scent control. I spread the corn in bushes, cactus and anything else that will make them work for it. Believe me they will find it, every bit. I use a feeder but had spread as well all over the same area. Good luck.

Ditto. 34 years they always eat it first. Boogers and all...

I try to make as much noise as
Possible. I spread it like chicken scratch. I also will put some in cactus, thorny bushes, edges of brush piles. Whatever it takes them the longest to pick up.

I learned this from a guide on one of those fancy pants high fence pay-per-deer places...I use a gallon ziplock to hold the gallon or so of corn I'll throw out, and an enamel ware large mug (like 24 oz?) to scoop up the corn and throw it all out. On the last scoop, I'll swirl it around for 15 seconds or so...sounds like a feeder going off.
They seemed to like the sound on that place.

I wish I lived close enough to where I hunt to hand throw alot, man they are seriosly calmer on hand throw!

[BigD]

I do it both ways and it does not seem to make a diference. The deer have never been nervous about coming to it and eating. The only thing that did spook them was one time when I poured it in large piles instead of scattering it thin.For some reason they were uneasy about the large piles of corn.
