Feeding Units Attract Game In Wisconsin Winter
Madison Wisconsin special report notes unprecedented deer numbers at the conservation department feeding stations this winter. Additional hundreds of tons of feed were needed to sustain deer weaned to artificial diet. Last winter's spend reached about $55 000 and this year mirrors that amount. Despite extra feed many deer remain in natural browse areas and only a small percent can be reached. Artificial feeding benefits larger stronger deer while smaller weaker animals lag. Deer are given high quality cattle feed and consumption indicates acceptance.
