Food plots benefit the wildlife...yeah...because we all know deforestation is a good thing..
Huh?Food plots benefit the wildlife...yeah...because we all know deforestation is a good thing..
Are you drunk??Food plots benefit the wildlife...yeah...because we all know deforestation is a good thing..
No...I just enjoy stirring the pot and watching people in denial lol...tbh is the same thing no matter how you slice it (plot vs corn) ....the problem I see is one takes more work to get the same results....if you need to put something in the area to bring deer to you because you want them there you baited....you altered the habitat to pull them there...and that is the truth....it is what it is...not like Tennessee is gonna allow it anyway....but at least some of ya get to enjoy the deer attracting you planted legallyAre you drunk??
So you don't trim and shooting lanes or do anything at all to alter the habitat you hunt? Do yal hunt if crop fields? What are they classified as? A pile of corn and an acre of clover are the same results? How? I see the same arguments and there are 42 pages over 5 months debunking most of the bs but the same bs is getting typed on the site.No...I just enjoy stirring the pot and watching people in denial lol...tbh is the same thing no matter how you slice it (plot vs corn) ....the problem I see is one takes more work to get the same results....if you need to put something in the area to bring deer to you because you want them there you baited....you altered the habitat to pull them there...and that is the truth....it is what it is...not like Tennessee is gonna allow it anyway....but at least some of ya get to enjoy the deer attracting you planted legally
show me a turkey that has died from aflatoxins!! please. i like scientific evidence!!!!Sugar is "food".
But we don't want our kids just eating candy.
Corn is sugar.
Show me one child who has died from eating candy, yet we know too much sugar harms health.
But wet corn can develop a poison (aflatoxin), not just a case of sugar.
None of us would feed our children rotten food, which is exactly what aflatoxin corn is, i.e. rotten, molded, poison.
Aflatoxin poisoning usually doesn't kill deer, just makes them less healthy and sometimes very sick. That in turn makes them weaker, and more susceptible to being caught by predators. This is particularly the case with buck fawns. You just never personally see it, but the losses from feeding corn (in a pile or from a feeder) often exceed the benefits. It is a very different situation with a field of corn vs. a pile of corn.
But aflatoxin poisoning is mainly a killer of birds, all birds that eat it. I believe it has been a significant driver of periodic low turkey populations, as well as the near extinction of bobwhite quail. Corn in a pile is candy to birds. When it develops aflatoxin, the birds still eat it (although deer may not). Birds then fly or walk off to die no where near the corn pile, so those pouring out the corn rarely are aware of the dangers of aflatoxin (nor do most seem to even care).
Plenty of scientific evidence has been published....one of many examples in link below that includes data from MSU deer lab as well as other sources.show me a turkey that has died from aflatoxins!! please. i like scientific evidence!!!!
There's a pile of studies, stop being lazy and Google it. There's all the evidence you need with a simple Google search.show me a turkey that has died from aflatoxins!! please. i like scientific evidence!!!!
Accurate.If the food source you're hunting over isn't rooted right there or fell from a tree that's rooted right there, then it's bait. It's that simple. It's not the same as a food plot, and TWRA agrees.
If he doesn't bother looking it doesn't exist...There's a pile of studies, stop being lazy and Google it. There's all the evidence you need with a simple Google search.
I'm still waiting for someone to show me one. I'm glad some of you guys believe studies with no proof of a deer ever dieing from it. Lol. I'm not googling tree huggers websites with all these opinions and no proof. This same corn gets fed to chickens, cows, pigs, you name it.There's a pile of studies, stop being lazy and Google it.

Noone on here has said deer are. It's turkeys. And other game birds. You also need to go research how aflatoxin happens. while you giving out examples that are in a very controlled environment and animals of that sort that are on a feed ration.I'm still waiting for someone to show me one.

those poor chickens,cows,pigs and horses!!! oh and goats and ducks!! they are doomed!!!!I'm still waiting for someone to show me one.

Did you know that deer aren't the only animals?I'm still waiting for someone to show me one. I'm glad some of you guys believe studies with no proof of a deer ever dieing from it. Lol.

Tree hugger websites? MSU Deer Lab is the furthest thing from a tree hugger website. Plenty of reputable information on the topic.I'm still waiting for someone to show me one.
