[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5296746, member: 1409"] As they say in Texas, [I]"There you go."[/I] As stated previously, it's not that aflatoxin corn directly or quickly kills deer, but it does increase their mortality, and can do a lot more overall harm than good, especially if you value any birds using your property, as it does quickly kill birds. Many may die a few hundred yards away, making their deaths less noticeable to those using feeders. I've seen all appear to go well for months on end, even years, then suddenly a single bag of bad corn wipes out all your turkeys. If you don't want turkeys on your property, I can't think of a better way to get rid of them, than feed them some poison. Part of what makes the risks more difficult to realize is that we directly, quickly see the benefits, but fail to observe the longer-term detriments, much of which is not localized to within 100 yds of a feeder. Nor do we get a picture or find the remains when coyotes ambush a button buck 100 yds from the feeder, and leave not a trace in the area of what they did. Predators seem to quickly cue in on the area around a feeder as a location they can more regularly & easily ambush a meal. But that does not mean you get all this on your trail cam near the feeder.
