Deer used to eat our hostas to the ground. Now they walk right past. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never fill up. Just kept on grazing until our entire yard became an involuntary food plot. A couple hundred dollars in Bobbex each year make all those tasty plants intolerable and they just move on. The stuff is not harmful, it just irritates their sinuses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only venison that I've ever eaten came from West Virginia corn fed deer. My B-I-L live on a mountain top. He feeds the deer corn all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
