Here in the great state of Texas, I don't know of anybody that doesn't feed corn to the deer out of feeders. It gives them required energy through the winter months. (yeah I know it doesn't snow in the Hill Country) But to say it doesn't bring out mature deer is a fallacy. It sure does. One of the main purposes of using corn is to establish a feeding station for does. During the rut when the big boys are seeking out the hot does they may come to where you are feeding giving you a chance at a good buck. I have been feeding 750 lbs of protein a month since March to the deer on my land and will stop at the end of August. This promotes antler growth and also helps does that are lactating. Would ya'all call this baiting by supplying nurishment to your herd?
