I'm not getting into the difference of placing a 100# bag of corn in the woods and hunting by a 100 acre corn field.
I'm not even going to try an explain the difference between a deer and a bear tonight. (whens the last time anyone seen 20 to a hundred bear eating in a field?)

What I will say is, there is about 14 to18" of snow on the ground here, and if it was still legal to feed them, I would have 20 to 40 deer getting a free meal here every evening less than 40 yards from my back door.
