Southern Ground - Hunting Over Corn To Kill The Biggest Buck On Your Property Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

On the Southern Ground Hunting podcast, we try to be advocates of all legal means of hunting. While we may prefer another method, we celebrate all legal and ethical forms of hunting. One huge topic that relates to many hunters in the South is hunting over bait.

We've all heard people say "Mature bucks don't come to corn in the daylight", but our guest Tanner Edenfield would disagree. In this episode, we talk about bait placement and using cameras to locate a big buck. Then how to find the right bait placement for killing him once the season starts.

Tanner shares his insight pressure, stand placement, access and so much more as it relates to hunting baited properties.
