Corn Prices

Just under $10.00 for a 50 pound bag here in South Texas. Makes me cry when the hogs come in and eat it all. Use to feed all year but not any more.

Acadamey has it for 6.99 for 40lbs this week.

It as just another expense for hunters. Those spending thousands on leases, guns and bows will moan and groan about 10 dollar corn.

I was buying it at Wal-Mart $7 s and change until they went up a dollar 0n 40#. Dicks is to far for any savings for me. I have been buying it at Brookshires grocery stores for $9.99 and get the 10th bag free if you use their store card, tlee you what though, the Brookshires corn is better than the other corn I have bought and that includes some from 2 feed stores.

Just think if you heat with it and feed it (like me). No corn for heat this year. Way too expensive.

Our local Walmart sells 40 lb bags for $8.97. Tractor Supply sells their 40-lb bags for $8.49. The local feed store sells 50 lb for $10.75. The 50 lb bags are full of powder. The cleanest and best price per lb is TSC. It's rare that the best corn is also the cheapest, but that's the way it is locally.

What you guys are leaving out is this shelled corn or on the cob? I use to buy the 40 or 50 lb of shelled corn because you actually get more corn than buying 50lb bag of corn on cob. But in a real world situation it takes the deer longer to eat the cob corn and they somtimes tire of it and move on, but still stop for a bite. Here i only use it for pics in the cam as its illegal to hunt over and i also have no desire to kill a deer illegally over corn. The shelled corn they just suck it up it seems. I saw i a few weeks ago at the area i hunt in for i think $8 for 50lb bag with cobs. Like this it will last about a week or a bit less once found good, if i put the shelled out they eat in in a few nights as they just suck it up.

Shelled whole corn in a bag for running through deer feeders (spin cast)

Timed spin feeders make corn last longer. If its on the ground or in a hopper, they will wade thru it, and sound like hogs eatting....Spinning makes them come in the morning and evening and other animals a-running? turkeys are first there, then squirrels. Racoons will climb the stand and try to eat out of the bottom of the feeders.I cannot beat any of these prices yet? They really like sweet potatoes on the ground...

Yep! On the cob, it tends to plug up my feeder.:laughing:

Not necessarily. I had a timed 50 gal drum feeder on a lease that was emptied every weekend by a squirrel who had learned to turn the spin cage by paw. That rascal would climb up and dump corn on the ground for hours at a time.
