They're not smart enough to stop eating it.Don't seem to hurt the deer in the mid-west.. So that statement is nul and void..Any good mix of grain, and oats with sweets in it will work well.. Hopefully you've been feeding them all year..Hunterman(Tony)No. Actually there's quite a bit of validity to his statement. Scientifically speaking anyways. This is interesting. Curious to know how an excess of corn would kill a deer. Whats the reasoning here? Lack of nutrition, or gaseous bloating like cows with too much alfalfa??? Would like to hear some evidence or conclusions one way or the other.If you get a good set of corn starting in Aug and religiously keep it baited with no rest into Oct, that deer will eventually die of lead poisoning

I was just being a smartass.I think a straight diet of any food source would cause a problem. Just like I can't eat bacon alone everyday, as much as I would like to. Deer eat corn all over, and do well off of it. But it's not their only food source.
heres a question, ok i grow biologic and the blacktail dont seem to really care about it and neither do the elk, so what can i grow that will come back every year that both blacktail and elk will chow on?
