However, they eat 150lbs of corn in 3 days.
According to how many deer are using the spot, 50 lbs of corn a day sounds like a lot. Couple of things can result including founder and acidosis. High grain diet also changes the microflora of the rumen so that an animal doesn't digest roughage as efficiently. Can't say for a deer of course, but in cattle feeding a high grain, low fiber feed reduces the efficiency of digesting roughage. So you may be feeding them a high carb, low protein feed while at the same time reducing the efficiency of digesting the browse they are getting.
