Shell Corn prices are sky high now!
Like everything else in our economy Corn Prices have shot out the roof. We usually put out shell corn for the deer (I know it's probably illegal in most of yalls areas) but we ain't gonna be able to afford that this year. Last year it was somewhere between 5-7 dollars for a a 50 lb bag....this year....10 dollars! We have shot a lot of deer over corn in the past years and it's great to put the trail camera out on it to get good pictures, but all that will be a thing of the past now.
We're going to continue to plant milo.
I been thinking about it though....I think it might be a little better hunting without the corn. When the deer know it's there they can come at night and eat without disturbance. The deer we have shot have mostly been at dawn and dusk right before and after daylight. Not to mention all of our big deer pictures come at night over the corn pile. They won't touch the stuff in the day! I'm looking forward to seeing if the lack of corn will be a good thing. What yall think?
