    Nice, if you can't get people to stop feeding the deer one way...back up and find another angle of attack. Lol, classic.

    Best line from the article

    " There’s a sizable group of people who hate suggestions that their unregulated recreation could be hurting and possibly killing birds and wildlife"

    I honestly do not understand the purpose of this blog, which references a study that is over 10 years old. I have yet to see anyone provide evidence that people feeding deer in their backyard has caused a major wildlife problem. I'm not trying to deny anything, if this is a problem worth spending time and energy on, I want to be educated.

    I can only speculate but I found 2 dead bucks near the grain dryer on my hunting property. I couldn't find any evidence they were poached so I wonder if they got into some bad corn. You can see corn on in the hair of the one that has shed his antlers....both bucks were full of corn in the body cavity even after they were scavenged. 20170221_143140.jpg 20170221_151930.jpg
