[QUOTE="bigcountryok, post: 1001200, member: 4368"] I'm a little sceptical anytime one group points a finger at the other. It's no secret that there are often conflicts between the hard core deer hunters and hard core quail hunters. 1) Alphatoxins occur in nature. 2) They are already present in crops before they are even harvested. Quail and other game have been living off of man made crops for decades. 3) Alphatoxins are present in livestock feed which quail and other game have also been eating for decades. The amount of feed set out to feed various forms of livestock far exceeds any amount of corn that deer hunters will ever put out. 4) If alphatoxins are that potent why are turkey populations thriving? I've seen more turkey around my feeders than quail. I'm not saying that deer feeders may or may not be a part of the issue, but at this point I'm just not buying that it's a significant problem. I've very rarely ever seen quail around any corn that I've ever put out, and I've never seen them stop and eat any when they did pass through. [/QUOTE]
