Foundering deer, too much corn?

[Goofyfoot2001]

I read that this condition is due to too many carbs too fast. Would this be the community pumping the deer full of walmart corn?

Also read it results in acidosis and can be fatal.

I was once told by a feed dealer that corn marked as deer corn most likely contained high levels of Aflatoxin

Poor little guy. He’s got quite the goofy foot...

I’ve read deer corn is dangerous for deer. Something about it being very hard to digest and can cause many issues.

I try to stick to apples and peanuts/butter.

We've been using corn in our feeders for over 30 years. Ours comes out of a farmer's grain bin about 3 miles up the road.

Not to say there are none, but I have not seen any ill effects as a result.

If feeding corn did that it would have been banned long ago.

That one looks genetically screwed up. Should be put down.

I would love to stick and arrow through it but we're in a soccer mom / yankee lib / Karen scenario here in Tega Cay, SC.

The wildlife folks down there may do it for you. Those mutations are bad for herd development.
