Ethanol is a joke for several reasons. It wouldn't even be made if it weren't for subsidies. I don't think it will hurt the deer hunting, though.
X2 - If we're going to use plant material as fuel, let's get real and use something cheap and abundant like say...juniper, kudzu, buckthorn, boxelder, canary grass, cattails. It is ridiculous to burn corn. Costs as much to produce, haul and refine as the fuel you get out of it. All about politics and greed.
