Default RE: Deer Nerds: How many calories are in...

ORIGINAL: quiksilver

Just wondering something from a nutritional perspective:

What are the nutritional values (calories/protein/carbs/etc.)of the various deer foods?
[ul][*]Field Corn- Carbs, Calories[*]Sweet Corn- not sure but I canthelp but think they would difffer from the above.[*]Browse- usually most browse will provide aruond 12% daily protein for deer.[*]Alfalfa Protein[*]Grasses Not sure[*]Acorns (Red vs. White) Carbs, calories, carbs and more carbs.[*]Soybean havent done a lot of reading on beans, but Im pretty certain they pack some protein.[/ul]I always key my early-season buck hunting in on bucks that are calorie-loading for the late fall. I'd like to "think" I know why they hammer certain foods at certain times, but if I had some nutritional data, it might make it a little easier to connect the dots.

Is this info available anywhere? I looked for a minute, and apparently I'm too damn stupid to find it.



Let's put on our Google pants and take a walk down this road.
