Use to have a place with a pond right next to the house, was full of catfish. Around December I would always dump some corn up next to the bank in the shallows for ducks as I really enjoyed seeing them on the pond. No, I never shot any by the way. Kind of crazy with the cold weather but the catfish would be full of corn and deer tracks everywhere. So I guess the deer stuck their muzzles in and sucked it up, reminding me of and article I read about deer on an island in the Great Lakes sucking up minnows. If I had a healthy turkey population I wouldn't use the deer corn though, not worth it IMHO.
