Yes they will eat it, but field corn is a better choice if you are planting it only for deer.

Edit: you can also see the wildlife management forum for more info

They will destroy a sweet corn patch and it will do you little in terms of hunting over it. We have to put an electric fence around ours and even then we have problems with the coons.

I agree! They will eat it, but there are much better choices for a food plot.

They probably would eat it, but the raccoons will eat it all first.

Edit, sorry daveyrock, didn't see ya there.
