In North Carolina, at my brothers cabin, the deer come to the food gong. They love corn.


A couple years ago a friend south of Corpus Christi said the deer were turning up their nose to corn too. Got to be more to it than acorns or whatever. Any facts...Ideas?

How dry is it on your place?

I can almost guarantee the deer are close to a water source.

I was thinking the same thing. I know they won't hit the rice bran unless they have some water nearby to wash it down with. Corn maybe the same way, idk
