Browsers by nature, if were feeding them every day in the same spot and there filling there bellies why do they need to browse. Were changeing there habits to an extent by feeding them.

My dad has 36 acers he is trying to manage, he a has planted food plots, made watering holes, salt licks and now has a feeder. He put the feeder up so that he could get pics of deer. HE said he was going to take it down before season but I have my doubts. Anyway, I have pics of the same deer coming in twice a day for more than a week. The only reason I don't have anymore is b/c the batteries went dead in the camera and he hasn't bought anymore. I told him that he should limit the amount of corn being put out so that they don't get dependent. Has he? No, b/c he's scared the deer want be able to fill up and want come back. I'm not saying this happens everywere but there is more and more people feeding deer. It has become an acceptable practice that may need to be looked into a little more. I think anything we do to wildlife effects nature. I have pic of animals not even 2 minutes after the feeder goes off. Is that normal that a deer comes running to the sound of a corn buck (don't think so). They are depending on that corn/grain to fill there bellies for the day. I'm off the soap box, I don't think there is anything wrong with feeding them but we need to do it responsibly. Happy hunitng
