propmahn; in many areas of Canada the deer have to yard because the snow is too deep. The deer numbers are controlled not by overall food availability during the year but by food availability during the end of the winter. If you feed the deer, except under extremmely bad conditions more deer survive than the winter yards can handle. If there are too many deer in these yards the food supply runs out early and more deer die than should have. It isn't as simple as the factors that affect deer in the corn belt.
