Bait doesn't lie

[Mike]

First bait pile of the season and I got 6,237 pics from 12/11 - 12/20. I just dumped 140 more lbs of ear corn and 120 lbs of sugar beets. All of the bucks I've seen survived which is no surprise. I saw at least 8 different bucks, maybe more. Some small and some dandys. Bring on the cold weather!
Here is a short clip of some of the pics.

Man, you got some crazy tall racks! Loving those crazy brow splits TOO, never seen any like that before.

Holy balls! Good luck Mike! First buck is one I'd kill in a heartbeat. Just tall and cool looking. The other with tall split brow tines is cool too. Heck, I'd shoot the busted up buck with tall brow tines. Get to it!

Thanks guys. Sugar Beets came from Michigan, just over the line.

Now if only you could just hunt from 10 pm til 4 am

Nice to know what is in the area, it always helps to keep the attention going even if you aren't seeing them. You could any minute.

Cool pics, not to hijack but we put out beets 2 weeks ago and the deer literally walk right past them. Same with turnips when we planted them, forage radishes, and any other "deer magnet". Did you cut the beets up or throw them out whole?

Good stuff, Mike!

Good stuff Mike! Nice looking deer you got there,

I took a machete and cut them up into pieces. I'm told that they will get hit when it gets cold. We'll see I guess. I've never seen a sugar beet before and I was surprised that some were the size of softballs and that they are white and not red. I had no clue.

Nice crop of bucks left over Mike!...do you have any idea how far away they are coming from or where they are bedding? What time are they getting to your bait pile and which direction are they coming from?

Good luck buddy.
