Deer

Feeding time for my deerest friends

Pretty pictures. Around here the deer have to compete with the hogs when a feeder goes off.

This is outside my kitchen window. I spread out a bucket of feed, just enough to give them a snack. No hogs in this area yet. If they come around, I'll be ready with some little lead pills right out the kitchen window.

We also love to supplement feed the deer on our place. It is our hope they will figure out our home is a safe zone for them.

I hope you're not using typical bait food - "corn."

Not intending to derail the thread. It's all about wildlife.

I gather road kill Deer and put the carcass in my CRP fields for the Eagles to feed on.

That's pretty cool. Unfortunately, I have more coyotes than eagles but I could certainly use a deceased Bambi to bait those killers.

Good gesture ,we plant food plots also.We have had a couple soybean bales fall off a truck and roll all the way to the wood-lot;about 1/2 mile.

Thanks to CWD in a nearby county, state DNR has prohibited feeding in the county I live in. All of the cases, as far as I know, originated in commercial deer farms....which received infected deer from other commercial farms. The guy in the nearby county had some of his deer die from CWD so the jackwad dumped the carcasses on county property. Nothing like helping spread the disease.
