RE: Feeding deer corn?
I'm sorry fellas, but I just don't follow the "they will get depended on it" deal. A deer's diet is so vast that they rarely get dependent on any one food. They are the goats of the woods, they will eat anything.
I live in a state where you can put out corn all year long. The deer do not become dependent on it. Actually, its the other way around. From my experiences the deer will walk right through the corn to get to greens.
As for their digestive system. I have seen where it gives deer the "runs".
Corn has hardly any protien, but it does have carbs.
