I first learned to hunt deer with a group of neighbors where I grew-up in Ohio. We all had our favorite stands or places to sit for the first couple days of deer season, then if we hadn’t yet harvested a deer, we would get together as a group to move deer through a wood-lot somewhere towards waiting hunters. Here in Kansas, I have harvested several deer from stands or blinds strategically placed along travel routes or at natural feeding spots. When we built our raised blind years ago, we hung a corn feeder in a draw in front of the blind. Squirrels chewed a hole in the bottom of the feeder, so we tried another. Unhappy with that feeder, we began simply scattering buckets of shelled corn, ear corn, apples or pears on the ground over an area the size of a couple houses, which we still do today.
