I'm learning, good information. I've always used food plots, and fertilized natural browse. Some hunt the food plots, I never have unless I was on an invited hunt, and that's where they put me. In our woods, have never seen a big buck shot on one of our food plots. Yet.
Most of our big buck kills are during the rut, pre rut, post rut.

The deer in the Midwest benefit much more from the SOIL that grows the corn than the corn. 6 foot deep topsoil that grows cornstalks 12-14 feet high also supports very nutritious browse plants. And soybeans in the next field over. The corn left standing (not much, except where they want to hunt) is an important food source in their exceptionally harsh, downright miserable winters. There is a significant difference in that vs. a pile of corn or sweet feed that suddenly appears in a Southeastern forest.

I wonder why no one has come out with a probiotic for deer.

I would have to think of an alternative as well if I had to pay $11 a bag for corn. I payed $6 for 50 lb bags last season. Not sure about this year yet, but I hear it will be about the same.

How things change and stay the same, deer still eat corn, Wildlife pro is in jail or should be by now!

They did, 20 years ago: it's called chicory.
Yet his points above are valid; you should not feed sweet feed to deer. The molasses & sugars are much more likely to induce rumen acidosis than corn, & very quick to mold, which can be directly toxic. It's 12% protein, not an improvement over good, native forage, much less a food plot.
I'm not defending him, he was in large part a charlatan, apparently; & earned his ban from here before he ran afoul of the law.
Not sure why people resurrect these old threads?

Very old thread but I saw it on a google search. Whatever happened to this cat? Was he running some sort of scam? Anyone remember what happened?
