Supplemental feeding deer is never healthy. I do not recommend it except in extreme cases.
That destroys the entire reasoning behind food plot strategies LOL.

Back to my original post.................I am only trying to find a decent food that will attract deer to the site where the wife can view them.
So, is there anything comparable to the cost of corn that is healthier?
Totally agree DR. I've never understood that stance (someone calling a food plot "baiting"). Playing devil's advocate from a slightly different angle, say we were to all agree that a food plot was baiting......who would determine the size of that plot being "bait" versus actually feeding the animals? That would be quite the conversation - aka argument.I've had similar conversations with a co-worker who felt if food plots were legal then corn pile bait sites should be legal....and I couldn't disagree more.
Food plots are hybridized plants growing out of the ground. Supplemental feed is God-knows-what poured out of a bag.That destroys the entire reasoning behind food plot strategies LOL.
I wish I had a good answer for you RandyinTN, but I don't. In the winter, I have no problem with people feeding deer corn. It is loaded with carbohydrates, which is in need during cold weather, and the temps are too low for mold growth. But corn in summer is not only dangerous, but unhealthy. Deer don't need many carbs in summer, and tempting them to load up on something they don't really need instead of natural forages is not in their best interest.Back to my original post.................I am only trying to find a decent food that will attract deer to the site where the wife can view them.
