- Statistic taken from a Michigan magazine. (not sure which one, lost track
- of the article and haven't found the exact quote yet)
-
- The article stated that hunter's were responsible for putting out 43 million
- (six zeros boys) BUSHELS of food this hunting season.
-
- I know that I personally put out over 500 lbs. and I am still putting some
- out - now that the season has been over for almost a month. And out of the
- food that I have put out, I estimate (by tracks and observation) that I am
- lucky if 20% of it ended up in the mouths of deer.
-
- For the record, I got my first deer - a healthy little three pointer with
- bad lineage for horns - over my brother's wife's feed pile. I credit
- the feed with distracting the deer sufficiently to allow me to take the
- animal down extremely quick and humane.
