Default RE: How Much corn will a deer eat ????????

OK , I checked the area.All deer tracks,no bear tracks or coon. When I put the corn there it was a mixture of thick rye grass and clover. Now there is a 8 foot circle of bare dirt with deer track on top of tracks. Looks like a elk hole. Then I talked to a neighbor who owns 400 acres down the road. ( not adjoining but close). He said he only shoots bucks 8 Pt and better and never shoots does. He made a count this spring and said he has seen around 120 doe and around 60 buck on his 400 acres. I dont know this for a fact,just what he said. When I drove up the driveway I seen a wall of tails entering the thicket. Pulled up within 40 yards of the feeder and after 10 minutes five deer came back,along with 2 buck,then finally 11 more doe. I went up to the other feeder at the gas well site and that had deer in it.All took place at 12:30 PM. To bad I probably only have 1 year to hunt it.
