Default Carrots VS. Other Bait

i asked alot of people if they think that carrots stuntthe deers growth and 1/2 said yes and 1/2 said no..does anybody have anyother opinions? also some people say it deforms antlers and the fertility rate drops.
Thanks

i can't believe the molecular make upof carrots could in any way or form hurt or harm a deer. i can tell you this though from experience, don't feed them acorn scentedinsulation. it will make their small intestines pass right out their rectum. oh my god,GUYS i'm sorry. i've had several beers now and that just come out for no reason. i don't feed them insulation. i love deer.....and hunting....and this site

There's a carrot farm nearby where we hunt and the farmers are actually trying to get money for the new, tiny breed of deer that has sprung around there. No need for bows, just use mousetraps on them!!!
