Gene, I too felt the same way when I read that remark. It is upseting when you come on here and try to ask legit questions and then someone decides to envoke ther opinions on you and turn the question into a debate. And yesmy deer are like livestock!! I bugs me that people are totaly ok with buying burger from the store when that cow was penned up and never even allowed to experiance freedom but deer are some how much more deserving than beef. And dont even try saying because it was born in that enviroment its different because its not. And just so you dont worry about me,my frezzer is full of corn fed beef and deer! now to answer your question not sure if bugs can do it because I dont think I have ever had that problem from bugs but I have watched squirrels do it. It seems like they dont do it at firstthey take the wholething, but then when they get used to it they start gettingselfish and only eat the center.
