[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1693343, member: 5412"] I respect your opinion, but do not agree. I'm not sure what WMA your hunting, but in my area, talking to folks that hunt Kaw WMA exclusivly, as well as other local WMA's, they don't see the concentration of feeders and corn piles your encountering in your area. In my private land food plots, I've had deer coming for years to the same plot, and in the ground that I farm, there is the same. Currently there is no scientific evidence that deer coming to feeders in Okla are spreading disease's of any kind. If there is evidence, I would like to see it posted in this thread. As far as the "problem" with introducing some unwanted weeds in a bag of corn, its not really an issue. Any farmer, and I am one, will tell you that that the tags on the bags of seed wheat corn, or milo will list the percentage of weed seeds in the bag. There are very strict regulations in effect by the USDA on what can be sold as seed. IF there are any scientific reports of invasive weed infestations caused by feeders or corn piles, please post them in this thread. Johnson grass, old world fescue, and other invasive specie are easily spread by flood waters, other animals and birds ingesting the seed and depositing it elsewhere in their feces. Actually, driving through a muddy field of Johnson grass will cause some seed to be thrown and and attached to the fender wells, to only later fall off in another area. You can't stop it. Just control it. [/QUOTE]
