Skud Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 I read the article from the MNR about supporting the deer herds. Very different from what they usually recommend. I bait for deer every year during the hunting season and then stop by mid December. This year my Dad and I decided to keep feeding them since winter hit so hard and early. The deer have been taking advantage of the free meals every day and there is a highway of tracks to and from the food pile. Even with all the snow the entire area is packed down solid with activity. I took down the trail cam on Jan first because it stops working after -15. Here are a few pictures taken at the end of December.
Rod Caster Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Nice shots! I do find it odd however that the MNR is bothering with deer when there are hundreds of other species that are actually at risk.
Dozer Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 You need a fully automatic assault rifle.
solopaddler Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 You need a fully automatic assault rifle. Not quite sure why, but I can't stop laughing.
jbailey Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 my buddies neighbour does this as well near apsley. One evening we arrived after midnight to his place to hear the coyotes going nuts, next day there were deer parts every where
BITEME Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Dont Feed the Deer let nature do its work Peter
tb4me Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 We too feed the deer but only before the hunt. The problem with feeding them after is they will come to expect it and almost depend on it..
Skud Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Posted February 25, 2014 I will stop feeding them by the end of March and start a food plot in August. Come October everyone in the family should be able to harvest a doe. I have plenty of pics of the coyotes too but have yet to find any victims besides rabbits.
