I disagree with the feeding of corn to some point, yes its bad to throw out corn in area that doesnt normally have corn in the dead of winter and the deer are in a starving mode already. Yes corn is hard to digest with just about every animal including humans. Dont tell me corn is bad when animals are acustomed to having it their whole life, some areas deer rely on it, u talk about hunting personalities doing a diservice to the herd they hunt by leaving standing corn? what if they cut it all down and now food was hard to find? they used the corn as cover from hunters and predators? Also the property ownership and pressure over in the mid west is nothing like here trying to manage the herd and let deer mature is not letting them wander around to surrounding properties to only get shot. Somehow this corn is just atrocious on deer over there as they are regualary tiping the scales over 225 lbs and many bucks harvested every year over 200"!
We have a area in stevens county that is new to growing large amounts of corn and there is litteraly 500 deer in this area every year gorging on corn in the winter..with almost 0 winter mortality
