[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5120916, member: 20583"] I would have to imagine it does, and probably would be naive to think it doesn't happen while still on the stalk. It's also not unique to corn. I've put corn out before and noticed only the first day or two it's out gets much action from anything except raccoons. Beyond 2 days & the only thing that goes after it hard is coons. Deer will check it out but won't stay on it eating like they do the first couple days. I have to assume the animals know what's edible & what isn't, just like the way we throw out moldy bread. I've seen the same thing in acorns. Sometimes I come across an area of acorns that aren't getting touched by deer or squirrels. Something is wrong with them and even if I can't see it, the critters know. They seem to know what to eat or not. That all said, I'm not finding the reward to warrant the risk. If it doesn't aid my hunt, and plausibly affects the health of the wildlife, then why even do it? [/QUOTE]
