I find it hard to believe, I think the farmers around here would agree. The Deer literally live in the corn fields. Actually running out just in front in the combine. The other day a farmer actually got one caught up in the combine harvest head. The state issues crop damage permits and gives hunters an early start on August 15, Doe only. The Deer here eat alot of corn and I dont see any falling over dead from it. I myself bait one spot 50lbs. a week and it's gone every Saturday. All my deer look very healthy and full of energy. In my area that info just doesn't hold any weight.
