[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5297916, member: 10373"] Studies have been done which show that deer get all the nutrition they need to grow and thrive in their natural habitat. If you agree with that conclusion, the only reason for supplemental feeding either through food plots or feeders is to gather the deer for easier harvest. The deer are always a step ahead and the older deer will avoid these places during daylight once they perceive danger. These crutches do change the deer’s patterns often not to hunters’ advantage however. If you want to hold more deer, create cover sanctuaries. They are legal and actually help deer. My fear is that deer maybe seen as pests to be exterminated rather than game to be harvested and then the sport changes along with the rules to kill them. [/QUOTE]
