[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5360302, member: 1409"] Speaking of "deer corn" such as what we see at Walmart . . . . . . . It's my understanding that in the State of Texas (a much more arid climate), it is illegal for corn to be sold as "wildlife" corn [U][I]UNLESS[/I][/U] [U]it has been certified aflatoxin free[/U]. I've heard all the corn that's contaminated gets shipped to other states where it's legal to sell as "deer corn". I often hear the argument that corn feeding isn't hurting the deer population in Texas. And truth is, is certainly cannot there like it can here. The climate in Texas is much less humid, and they tend to feed mainly aflatoxin free corn. Up here, we have high humidity and tend to feed more Walmart "deer corn". Again, aflatoxin corn usually doesn't directly kill deer, as it just makes them weaker, less healthy animals. But it can directly & quickly kill birds that consume it. [/QUOTE]
