    Correct me if I am wrong, but if the farmer mowed down the corn for the deer to eat it is considered baiting and not agriculture anymore. I would assume 2-3 acres would be more than the 2 gallon limit in WI? Better check and be careful.

    Nice shot In MN, not sure in Sconny, you can hunt over a field ??? Not cut, cut, chopped, doesn’t matter… now pouring a pile of corn, is “placing” bait…. I don’t think he has anything to worry about.

    Super Do – interesting question, although I would consider planting, growing, and mowing in preparation for next year’s plantings normal agricultural practices…

    I contacted two separate people in the DNR (chat line and wildlife line @ 608 266 8204) and they both gave me the same response. They said they didn’t see any problem with it. They said collecting and putting the food into piles might be a different story, but mowing and leaveing it lay would be considered a normal agricultural practice, and would be considered the same as hunting over normal legal food plots. I guess I don’t see much difference in a deer’s eyes between corn on the cob on the standing stalk and corn on the cob laying on the ground..???

    Nice Job, Congrats and Great video Mike

    Thanks for sharing your harvest with us.

    Mike, a lot of farmers would be in trouble as I know quite a few that practice the same thing with their corn. Also think about it this way Super Do, every single food plot would be considered baiting under those rules. As far as I know growing any type of plot for deer is not illegal or considered baiting in MN or WI. No matter the substance/crop: Corn, Beans, Clover, Rape, or Turnips.

    Good point to bring up and think about though!

    thanks for the video Mike!

    All the deer in the early part of the video were bucks? I could see horns on two of them, but not the others. Laptop screen just don’t cut it!

    Believe me, I had to look hard, too. I had the binocs out for the whole time they were there — three had at least 6 points, one was a spike, and there were two nubbins. The biggest buck was at least a 2.5, more likely a 3.5 just based on body size and characteristics, but didn’t really have that “shooter rack”…
