Was googling to see if the Melissa store was open / had any in stock (since they don't answer the phone) and came across this

Made me curious who else 'cheats' assuming it's a thing….

https://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=798495

try the outdoors board brah

Buy from Prasek's in Sealy or Wharton.

I knew about alfatoxins. Lots of farmers plant barley seed next to corn to help reduce alfatoxins......

Crazy tho

Who baits deer with corn month after month and sits in a blind to shoot them?

Not hunters.

The aflatoxin test is a complete joke.

You want to piss of a farmer… bring up the subject of alfatoxins. He/She has zero control and financially judged very harshly.

The measuring of aflatoxin levels in grain crops became a thing in the late 70's if i am not mis-remembering.

Thats still eating meat. We're talking about hunting. Might as well raise deer, feed them out of the palm of your hand and then pop them once they get big enough.

For the record I don't feeder hunt because I think it's boring. So in terms of entertainment value, MiniShrike and I are probably on the same page.

What I disagree with is his generalization that it's not hunting if you are making it easier on yourself. We can always kick it up one more notch; hunters don't need a gun - give me a sling or a spear.

This.

I produce mycotoxin binders and the testing protocol is a complete shot in the dark. Basically all feed producers use mycotoxin binders because they know the feed has mycotoxins. Aflatoxin is just the one that's talked about the most. If any of you have had seasons where you lose several calves to prolapses or spontaneous abortions, there's a strong chance it may be caused by mycotoxin contamination in the rations. Zearalenone to be specific.

Merry Christmas and a blessed new year Ags.

Hunting / Shooting over baited plots v non baited land is an interesting argument. Many benefits to "baiting" such as population control and aids in maintaining the overall health of the heard just name a quick few. Hunting in the true sense of the word it is not.

Should one look down his nose at one practicing legal methods of harvesting venison in a given region…, go ahead if that is your thing.

I am blessed by being able to participate in more truer hunting methods such as stalking, tracking, rattling on large open ranch lands in South Dakota as well doing my duty as a law abiding humane participant, helping control the health and population in the great state of Texas.
Oh, a good way to get shot in the state of texas by another inexperienced hunter is simply trying to use truer hunting tactics such as stalking. Too many high powered rifles in the hands of individuals, in a given concentrated area that lacks the experience really needed for an overall safe experience.

Much safer to have everyone stay put in an "assigned " area.

How about "harvesting "? Can we agree that this is a more appropriate way to describe the acquisition methods of white tail in Texas?
Whatever you want to call it, i immensely enjoy being out in the woods and observing nature.

Happy Hunting/Harvesting

Smart man

I think Kyle Umlang does. Oops.

I like to catch my deer

Hunt how you like just get out there and participate however you prefer. Just be responsible especially to the wildlife.

If you're not buying apple scented Buck corn then you're just wasting your time!

Great juice for the price. Tastes great, priced for daily drinker. Enjoy

The question is, what are the other options? I'm in the chicken industry and we test aflatoxins because that's the only realistic option to ensure you aren't getting complete crap. We test a little fumonesin in house too, but very little due to cost of testing, and out source testing for Dom, Zeralinone, T2, vomitoxin. But the only thing we can reject a load for (quick test, rapid result) is aflatoxin. All the others may be worse, but by the time I know I have a positive test, that corn has already been consumed.

Adding: we use binders too. Binders help, but are by no means a fail-proof insurance policy.

Talk crap about probably 99% of the hunters on this board and don't expect many friends. You just couldn't control yourself to insult that many people because you are superior.


To answer the OP. I buy corn on 1. cleanliness and 2 price. The overwhelming majority of the corn I buy is for HOGS and contribute handsomely to the population control in my area of central TX. If Buccees were closer I would buy there but mostly get Mumme's from HEB because its way cleaner than the stuff at Academy and Wal mart.
