Marsh deer will survive just fine without feeders

If a deer has to rely on corn a hunter puts out to live he is doomed anyway

Corn has very little nutritional value


Deer do not need corn... Lazy hunters need corn.

ehh, it is certainly not good as the sole source of nutrition, but ~7% protein and full of carbs for energy especially in the cold months that ultimately turn to fat when not used for quick energy it is not a bad supplement especially in addition to a good food plot

Look at the deer that forage in and around the Iowa corn fields, they look pretty healthy to me

You have to change up how you're hunting. Pretty much all of the folks I know that hunt with feeders or corn are using that to pull the deer to them instead of going out and finding where they're naturally feeding or moving.

Yea. Thats why i like public land to an extent. A deer actually behaves like a deer.

Yup. Sometimes you still have to deal with it, though. Last year I found and reported a bucket feeder and a bait pile in Tunica. I would have never noticed the bucket 20 ft in a tree if they wouldn't have made a corn pile that could be seen from space.

To a point yes. Northern deer are gonna be a little bigger anyways and they are eating a whole bunch of other stuff besides corn

Most people that feed in Louisiana may spin out two pounds of corn per day with their feeder and by the time the coins and crows get their share the deterrent really getting much from it

Corn is an attractant to kill deer in the south

Far south side of the south tract. About 400 yards off of private so I don't think it was a mix up.

Geez.

What is really impressive is how that baw managed to carry a bag of corn and a feeder that far back in that rugged terrain.

agree, the coon population has definitely benefited the most (as well as the feed stores)with the liberal "supplemental feeding " regulations (and therefore hurt the turkey population in my opinion)

Without a doubt, they would. But it’s a drug that most hunters can’t kick. And now they’re needing to get their fix during turkey season too. It’s sad.

Aflatoxins and congregating them and then getting their arse shot during the season over it

I’ve been saying this for a while that trough or gravity style feeders (all feeders really) are dumb and congregate deer in tight places and is counter productive to the fact trying to keep deer spread out.


It is within the deer's biological make up to 'spread out'. Does generally have a home territory and the yearling bucks are run out by mature bucks. Also, mature bucks will travel a crazy amount of area during the rut.

It wasn't crazy far from an ATV trail. Also had a ridge you could walk to it without having to cross any bottoms.

If I read article correctly it looks like this amendment passed today. Can now spread corn on ground, not pile it.

No clue how to post articles, sorry

Fawns are affected by CWD so as a result I would expect it's passed from mother to offspring and buck to doe however I can't recall reading that word for word in a study. ( I have tried to familiarize myself with most of the work on CWD).


I also assume that the language that passed still outlaws feeding in CWD zones? I can't find the exact language but I know that was in the proposed language.
