Let's see, I'm sitting on an Iowa cornfield and shoot a big buck. Let's cut him open and see what he's eating..... NOT!!!
OK, I'm sitting on an Illinois cornfield and I shoot a big buck. Let's cut him open and see what he's eating..... NOT!!!!
OK, I'm sitting in La La land between a cornfield, oak flat and alfalfa field..... and as luck would have it, I shoot a big buck. Let's cut him open and see what he's eating...> NOT NECESSARY!!!!!
OK, it's the peak of the rut... a big buck iis chasing a doe all over the place. I fortunately shoot the buck. Let's cut the doe open and see what she's eating.[8D]
I find this funny.
Maybe not everyone hunts Ag fields.
I know I don't. They're within 1/4 mile.. 1/2 mile.. and even 1 or 2 miles.. but I very rarely hunt on top of them.
I don't see whats so
un-necessary about a hunter trying to learn something.
Then cut that deer open, dirty your knife and find all that corn inside.[8D] If you've done your homework you'll also find acorns if they're around, green browse(I challenge you to tell me what bush it came off), you'll find dried up oak leaves and other leaves, smillack, honeysuckle.... anything that's available. The bigger amounts will be the corn and bait piles. What does a bait pile fed deer tell us.[&:] I challenge MOST hunters to tell me what the contents of a stomach are. They'll mostly come up with stinky rotten crap that's all green and slimy. Sorry, I forgot the apples. Duke, 1/4 mile is just a long rifle shot. Deer make that trip in about 10 seconds.
