Cameras I have no problem with. They only show you that deer were or are there. It in no way guarantees a kill.

Other signs also show deer are there........

I've seen and killed more deer last two years away from corn. It worked great when it was illegal, but now corn is everywhere. You have to be where the deer wanna be regardless of corn now.

With this central nervous system disease they can carry they don't have to congregate. The saliva and urine can transmit the disease long after an infected deer leave the area. In some cases under the correct soil conditions it can infect other deer for several years.

I posted a thread about this disease on here sometime ago and explained it in detail. Actually our county ( Bedford County ) was the first to introduce gun season opening the same day bow season started or it was the first day of black powder can't remember the day it started but it was long before official modern firearms season started. Surrounding Counties also followed suit in order to cull the deer population in a desperate attempt to keep deer contact down to a minimum. You could take up to four deer. If you donated the meat to ( Food For the Poor ) they gave you an additional 4 tags. On top of that you were entered into a $1,000 hunting gear giveaway. A huge tent and then a grand worth of gear to go along with it. Pretty drastic measure if you think about it.

I first heard of this on an outdoor channel and they had discovered it up in upper Michigan. They also said that if the deer populations weren't kept in check it would spread to the southern states. Well last year they found a right many # of cases. So started the early gun season and the increased number of deer one could harvest.

I looked up that county. Turns out, you live right between where a friend of mine grew up. And you're between where his two sisters live. You near the river?

Right on the James River a few hundred yards away. If you look up state route 501 it runs parallel to the river for a few miles. I probably live maybe 10 minutes or so from where they're at probably

Honestly, there are so many acorns on the ground that it’s mostly turkeys and coons eating the corn
