I suppose all the research telling us that supplemental feeding, if done incorrectly, does more harm than good for the animals is untrue?

Either that, or the spread of disease amongst all the wild deer or turkeys is just a small price to pay to watch deer in your backyard then?

I dont think so.

DONT FEED WILD ANIMALS. (if you really must feed them, contact the local biologists, and ask them what to feed, how much, and how.) Dont forget to check the legality also, it may be illegal to feed deer, turkeys, bears, etc,. in your area.

As mentioned the best way to feed them is through a food plot.

Another thing to consider when planting food plots, or supplemental feeding is proximity to roads. You dont want hungry animals crossing busy streets or highways, just to get to your food. Its selfish, and may cause vehicle/animal collisions that are sure to kill or injure the animal, and may possibly kill or injure the vehicles occupants.

View animals naturally, in areas where they can remain wild. Trying to make wild animals tame and feeding them, just brings about problems; And anyone who loves and respects animals, has no want or need to bring about such problems.
