Default RE: Corn for deer?

Since nobody has touched on the subject of why not to pile corn up, I'll jump in...... The mold that will grow on moist corn is called Antifloxin, it is very very bad for deer to eat it after is has the spores growing on it, it will and can kill younger deer that eat it.....


But back to the corn .... just throw out 5-10 pounds in the same spot for a couple weeks and see what shows up, you may be suprised....

Texas info.......4 million whitetail deer in Texas, annually hunter purchase over 300 million pounds of corn a year that estimate is suspected to be very low....one 20,000 acres farm reported buying over 388,000 pounds in just one season.....
