[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5053414, member: 17"] Through supplemental feeding, is it possible to improve herd health over the winter months enough to improve body and antler growth in spring/summer? Probably. But the question is "how much improvement" and "at what cost." I've seen programs spend tens of thousands of dollars on supplemental feeding. Did it help? Probably. But hard data analyses suggests the improvement was minimal. Perhaps a few inches in average antler growth and maybe 10 pounds body weight. But again, at what financial cost? And there are some real biological and behavioral risks to having deer rely on supplemental feed. [/QUOTE]
