deer baiting on the east coast

[Seasons44]

I get local drop apples and use that early to mid season, corn for the rest of the year, I have a salt lick though it seldom gets used until the late winter, though the rack rocks or mineral rocks work great,

Garbanzos seem to be very delicious to deer in this area. No baiting allowed, but they will eat he heck out of a garb crop.

Northeastern North Carolina has a large deer population and hunting has been almost a religion. Anyway, we just buy shelled corn from a local feed and seed farmer's supply store. Some local grocery stores also sell it by the bag.
Just do a little scouting where you will hunt, and place it near a game trail or not far from a scrape. Go fancy with a timed feed dispenser, or just spread a pile on the ground prior to hunting. Over a few days time, once the deer find it, they will usually be regulars "at the trough"; let them come out and get on the corn, and they get will become somewhat absorbed in eating. Doe deer will sometimes precede a buck onto the corn until he thinks the coast is clear for him to emerge. However, factor in the craziness of the rut, and anything goes.
