I agree that it helps hold and it offers variety. Deer have different nutrient needs and it does offer some of what they need at certain times. As far as it being easier to kill one over a corn pile or feeder; to me that is absolute hogwash from my experience. To me you are far more likely to see more deer and bigger deer over a fresh cut Ag field(corn or soybean). I hunted over a cut soybean fiield back in November with a feeder in it. Saw over a dozen deer with a couple good bucks; only one deer went to the feeder all day. Some ate acorns around the edge, some grasses and briars, some soybean hulls, and one at corn. I could really care less how many people are hunting over it and it's beyond me as to why the state is worrried about it either. I also got the email and thought "what a joke".
