[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 359047, member: 704"] I live out of yhe city limits in what you woukd call a bedroom community with large lots. I and I know at least three neighbors feed deer. Last year I drove 70 miles to pick up corn at an elevator that had convenient loading. I fed 2800 pounds of corn over the year. I feed year around because I enjoy having them around even if they feed on my apples, pears, cherries, etc. I do notice if I feed they eat less of my trees, and definitely less of my wife's flowers. I did shoot one with a bow years ago simply to take a deer on my own land. The highlight was a muledeer buck fawn at the feeder this morning. Muledeer around Jamestown are about as common as frog fur. Baiting isn't magic, and this year there is still some standing corn 1/4 mile south of me. Cars wiped out the best buck coming to my yard, and a very small fawn that was always alone. Will I shoot another deer in my yard. I doubt it because the nice bucks rarely come during legal hours. The deer in my yard are fewer than the neighbors corn field, and dont touch noses anymore often. I dont know what the fuss is, but I dont see a biological point. Like others I'll change my mind with real data. [/QUOTE]
