What do you use to bring them in close? Poll to run for 7 days.

I hunt around corn fields, on farm property, also put out salt lick blocks and I use calls a bit.

For xbow season, I use feed barley, (because that's what my neighbour had at the time), also crab apples when I can get them. During rifle season I stalk and still hunt, with rattling and grunting when the time is right.

I hit natural(use apples from a few friends and neighbors trees, as well as have an auto-feeder for corn) but also have 2 mineral licks set out on the property year-round. Looking at 2 spots for food plots to be put in next year as well.

Baiting is not legal where I hunt in Ga but in Fl I use corn and a feeder. Usually set the feeder to feed once a day for 10 seconds at 9 or 10 a.m.
50 pounds of corn will last several weeks with these settings.

Just put out a salt block this year. Tried sweet feed last fall, but with all the corn fields around the deer didn't touch it. Just planning to head them off on the travel routes. Come on October!!!!

Usually Corn but at different times during the season, I would say "All of the above".

Not legal here, bait, usually corn must be taken up 10 days before opening day. You cannot hunt within 50 yards of any salt lick.
Have a safe opening day.

All of the above.

I've got myself about 50 pounds of apples that I'm keeping in the freezer till I can't get any more. This is not a problem yet, as I drive around alot with my job and have no problem(yet) getting permission to pick apples up off peoples yards. I find most people would love for someone to get rid of all that "crap" off their lawn. It's a win - win situation most of the time.

One thing I don't have and won't have for this year is a decoy. I'm going to try to pick up a Montana decoy for next year. We've used one before and they look great. One guy I hunted with even had a walker stroll by and took pictures of it before my buddy clued him in.

Good luck to all & be safe.
