I am going to try something. 5 WT does, a buck fawn, a 4 point, 6 point and 9 point and 2 Axis does have gotten into about a 20 acre trap that I was deferring from the Ibex. Starting since about the first of the year I have been feeding free choice all they want Lyssy deer protein. Also have a feeder that throws out a few seconds of corn twice a day. Also have been feeding Beef Grower which is a textured feed from Lindners in Comfort. This is the feed I feed the Ibex. I want to see first hand what the difference in antler grow and fawn growth from non feed deer from around here. We shall see if I can keep them until about August and what the cost is and if it is worth it money wise.

I do not hunt Ibex here. I raise them. You must be one of those anti HF liberals that voted for Obama on here that sound off frequently.

I did not take any before pictures. I found one half of the 9 points antler. They stay in about a 3 acre cedar brake during the day and I do not want to go looking for sheds in there.

Can you be certain the deer in the alternate group are not getting similar or better feed or into a better food plot? Always thought you had to have "controlled" groups to compare. 2cents

No matter how it turns out, if they are expendable come fall, please let me know.

Lol Don. I'm not against HFs and I damn sure didn't vote for Obama. I thought with the pot stirring you would detect my sarcasm.

My control groups are probably more true to life than any control group tests anyone else has done.
