YOU CANT TAKE AWAY THE CORN NOW!!!!!! Once you start to feed them that stuff you can't take it away. It will take too long for their stomach micro organisms (up to 6 to 8 weeks)to adapt and their metabolisms have adjusted to suit the additional corn in their diets. You have no choice but to feed them from here on out. IMO, you should have never started but it is going to keep them more healthy if you keep going versus stopping now. Hard to explain but once you start to feed you can't stop it will do them more harm than good at this point. Ironically, deer that are fed from corn piles usually come out of winter with lower body weights than those who grazed/ browsed naturally becuase they expend less energy to get to food their metabolism slows significantly. Deer are build to survive very harsh weather and have done so for ages with out human assistance. This seems to be a very common misconception that we are helping them by feeding them through winter but more often than not we are doing more harm than good. TGK
