When do you guys start hand corning? (is corning a word? lol)

I leave my feeders going year round but thought about starting to hand corn here pretty soon. At my lease last year the deer stopped hitting the feeders right after bow season started and did not see another deer at the feeder during daylight. They hit the hand corn pretty good though.

That's a gorgeous mount!

I start hand corning the first of September. I know that's later than some, but I don't want the pigs to find it too early.
I'm headed up in the morning to do some work. I'm way behind.

I've never done much hand-corning. I dont' see how it could be very effective unless you do it pretty often... Every 1-3 days.
I can see it being a good idea to get some corn on the ground that isn't under a traditional feeder.
I thought of putting one of these 5-gallon bucket feeders I use way way way high up in the air where maybe the big mature bucks want notice as easily.

even using a road feeder behind my ranger seems to have better results than my feeder

How often do you hand-corn ???

[Etxbuckman]

I hunted a pipeline for a number of years that was adjacent to the main road into camp. I had a feeder at the edge of the woods nearest the pipeline and would frequently hand corn that main road. I can't tell you how many deer I would see deer come out of the woods, walk straight past that feeder and eat the corn that I'd poured on the road. Now the corn at the feeder and the corn on the road couldn't have been more than 40 ft. apart but those deer would NOT come to the feeder.

I throw it before i get in the stand and any time i fill the feeders. If i hunt a new spot i throw some out around before i get in the stand. They can smell the corn just like anything else and will come to it.
