I always cut the stomach open and check it out.
Same here.

I do it most of the time.

The adirondack big woods buck I took weekend before last was full of sticks and twigs.......no agriculture or defined food sources for miles up there. I was hoping to figure out what exactly they eat in those conditions. Must be a tough life for a deer.

I just went back to the gut pile sight two days later...guts were gone, and only stomach content remained....it looked like a baited corn pile.

Deer just like corn for some reason, IMO. Im starting to believe they will eat corn even over acorns in some instances as acorns are still on the ground in some of my areas, yet the deer are pounding the neighbors standing corn.

I have never cut open a deers stomach but have many times on turkeys. The wildest was the turkey plum full of snails (whole snails)

I do everything that I can to keep from bustin' the gut so there's no way that I'm doing it on purpose. [:'(]

I pretty much do that to all my deer. I like to know what they are eating at all times of the year.

I did it with Aaron. It was my first time doing it (intentionally) and I'll probably do it again.
