Default RE: Maine Landowners

I don't think corn is a good bet for winter deer especially in the great north woods. I understand their metabolism changes and they require lower protein feed for proper digestion. In winter they eat cedar leaves but usually don't touch them in summer. They do like to dig through the snow to uncover root crops like potatoes, turnips, beets and carrots. I am not sure if it is good for them but they seem to like it.
