I' ve seen this done by people that think that deer can' t find food in the winter. Most will not even get out of thier cars/trucks to do it because of the snow. We even had one old lady that was pouring corn, oat mix right on the road because the plow didn' t push it off the berm. She was caught in the act and fined for this activity. Now get this... Her reason for doing it, her 7yr old grand daughter told her the reason the deer were there at the side of the road was, they where begging for food like the bears in the parks. We tried to get the radio stations to broadcast a public announcement about this pratice but they refused. Some people are clueless to the workings of nature. Well I guess it takes all kinds.
