Deer Nerds: How many calories are in...

[quiksilver]

Just wondering something from a nutritional perspective:

What are the nutritional values (calories/protein/carbs/etc.)of the various deer foods?
[ul][*]Field Corn[*]Sweet Corn[*]Browse[*]Alfalfa[*]Grasses[*]Acorns (Red vs. White)[*]Soybean[/ul]I always key my early-season buck hunting in on bucks that are calorie-loading for the late fall. I'd like to "think" I know why they hammer certain foods at certain times, but if I had some nutritional data, it might make it a little easier to connect the dots.

Is this info available anywhere? I looked for a minute, and apparently I'm too damn stupid to find it.



Let's put on our Google pants and take a walk down this road.
