i live in northwest new jersey. we have 4 acres of mostly wetlands, and then its a public hunting land. on my property i can not find any food sources. we have no fields or farms near us. do you have any tips on finding a food source. the deer dont seem to have a route to follow everyday either. there is a river but its far back, its more of a stream.

I hunt over ag crops (winter wheat pasture). If it weren't for that, I'd never see deer. My hunting spots have no bedding cover, they're not travel routes nor natural food sources. That means I have to pull deer "to" me.
There are four alternatives!
1. Bait (corn feeder) - IF it's legal!
2. Food plot, and 4 acres could work. Check local and NJ regs. Could be considered baiting by some agencies!
3. Never see deer.
4. Hunt somewhere else.

cris8878, I think I would try to create a small food plot on your property if you state allows it. You said you have a Buck that come to corn, only put out a small amount of corn early in the A.M train him to come to the food in daylight, sit in your blind and wait, it will work. The food plot could be white clover,chickory and a small amount of sugar beets. the deer will come.
