Yes I am aware. My Wmu is only one surplus but I live on the border of 2 Wmu’s and have bushes in bothYou can buy up to 6 tags total
But can’t hold more then 2 for my unit
If I buy more tags has to be for other wmus

This year is the year! 7 years is a long timeWell I'd sure be happy with one , haven't used a tag since 2016... maybe this year!
Drop some apples and corn mixed with molasses around your shooting areas as wellAfter not filling a single tag last year ( first time in 20 plus years) my gang will be hungry for redemption. At least I've been seeing them in my area and will just have to wait until November 6th. Oh ... that reminds me to go check my salt stumps.
Orchard is nice but hard to pin point where they will beWe feed a couple of spots with that stuff (bagged deer feed) as for apples I have an old orchard that they probably visit but I have seen deer go crazy for watermelon... go figure ? They smash them open with their front hoof and eat right down to the white of the rind.
That works when you have thousands of acres of bush to huntHonestly gentlemen let’s try finding their bedding areas/feeding spots and transition routes. I know it’s legal but baiting an animal you might as well hunt down hwy 6 at African Lion Safari. Effort is always the key.
I salt all year round not so much to draw them to that same spot but more for the overall health of the deer in the area. The Does need salt when they are lactating and the Bucks for their antlers, I just use the rock salt that I put in my water softening system but read somewhere there is a better formula for them containing other minerals like calcium and phosphorus they need. I can see baiting down here in Norfolk County useful only if it is something so special and irresistible to them (like molasses) they can't find elsewhere. I have a buddy that comes down from Burks Falls because he loves the flavour of "farm raised deer" as opposed to the wild taste of the ones up north. Probably cheaper to buy a bag of whole kernel corn and some tubs of molasses to pour on top of it then that store bought feed ? Bonus is you will have some nice chubby squirrels to hunt too ! If you love eating bunnies (Cottontails) you will go nuts for squirrel !
I do have thousands of acres to hunt so it’s probably why I sometimes get a tad ‘elitist’ when it comes to bowhunting deer. My errorThat works when you have thousands of acres of bush to hunt
Property we hunt there is no need to bait this year as there is corn and they are always in the corn
But last year there was no crop 70 acres of workable land which had nothing on it 30 acres of old bush with little to no bedding in it.
Luckily the property is a transition area have to go threw it to get from
Bedding to food across the road… but with no crop there isn’t many deer around. So makes sense to bait them.
No worriesI do have thousands of acres to hunt so it’s probably why I sometimes get a tad ‘elitist’ when it comes to bowhunting deer. My error
Agreed. But the stupid deer just keep changing their transition routes to where I put the bait. Not much I can do about that.Honestly gentlemen let’s try finding their bedding areas/feeding spots and transition routes.
