RE: corn or not
I agree with NC on the corn issue. I don't think they hit it much unless the natural vegetation & browse is almost depleted. I sat near my corn feeder last year to do some observation during bow season twice. Both times the entire amount of feed dispensed from the unit was consumed totally by birds, chipmunks and squirrels! I only load the feeder in late Fall and Winter now - and I'm not sure that the deer eat any of it.
