| It is pretty much candy. From a nutritional standpoint, not much to offer from deer corn.

Everything i have read about corn in the winter for deer is they can't digest it and shouldn't be feed to them without other types of food . It has very limited benefit for nutrition in the cold months and deer can't survive on it alone. Maybe I'm wrong , I would have to research it more to be 100 % positive I'm right on this subject. I quess you could ask TX DOC

| corn in itself is not a complete diet for deer.it does have a lot of fat (energy)in it that they can utilize.

| Not BAD for them, just incomplete nutrition for them. Whitetails will starve on an all corn diet.

I started adding the rain guard protein pellets that will go through my feeder at home.I try to keep deer feed out all year round in hopes they will stay out of my wifes flowers..But this year I am not home so they may have a field day on her sweet potato and jack bean vines along with her shrubs..Damned deer gotta eat everything..
I have also heard that a solid corn diet is extremely bad as far as nutritional requirements go.But they sure do love corn.One year I tried putting out apples that were going bad..Holy crap,they tore that up around my feeder in the back yard..Apples are like cocaine to em...
oh well,I`ll get em back and recycle her flowers next November...
