Corn is not going to do a thing for building larger racks. It is low in protein, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium which are some of the building blocks for large racks. It is high in carbohydrates and can actually cause problems if they eat too much.

Now if you think I' m totally against corn you' re wrong. I do supplement with corn but only in the winter months with around 200lbs per month spread out over a very large area. First off you need to control the deer population to a level that the land can support. If you have more deer than you have available quality food sources your deer will never develope large racks. There body always takes precedence over antler growth. Second, food plots are the best way to increase the health of the heard. You don' t have to have thousands of dollars worth of farming equipment although it would be nice. I' ve done all my food plots with an atv, a small garden tractor type disc, and tools that most everybody has around the house. It takes a lot of work but when you see how much it has improved your hunting it is well worth it.

I don' t see corn as a bad thing but it is not a quick fix for your problem. It will take at least 2 to 3 years to really begin to see a change with the steps I' ve listed above. If you do decide to try a food plot make sure you take all the proper steps. There is a lot more to it than throwing seeds on the ground and hoping it will grow. God knows I' ve spent tons of money doing it the wrong way. If you need any help you' re already at the best place I know of to get it.
