food

We have been doctoring a buck fawn for a lump on his jaw that ruptures, probably has happened three times....gave drugs and antibiotics for that. Tonight we ran him through the chute and though he had Italian, but this time it was food impacted. Extracted that....how can we stop this from...

In regard to placement of feeding and watering stations, how far should they be apart? I have had people recommend sparating them because after drinking water, a deer can slobber into the feed station if in close proximity.   30 ft. ?  30 yrds. ?  Or does it really not matter?   What do you...

I have never seen this before. I had a healthy fawn who is now about 2 months old, 3 weeks ago I noticed his jaws were puffed out. I have dealt with Lump-Jaw. I could see from a distance that he prob had grass or grain packed between his cheek and jaw. I darted the fawn and sure enough, it had...

Hi folks! I just wanted to post an "FYI" here this morning. I've been taking several calls and messages lately regarding food plot selection, and in particular, and have noticed chicory come up quite a bit. Chicory is indeed a valuable selection, but along with the benefit comes a negative if...

Has the incubation time been determined, that is the time from when the animal has been biten by an infectious midge, to the time that visible symptems appear? Is there any cross immunity between the different strains after an animal has recovered from one of the forms of EHD or Bluetongue...

Looking to plant a small food plot in and around a bunch of trees and grain feilds. In your opinion what is the best overall food plot for early season through late fall?

It's a slow day in the small town of Pumphandle and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms...

Buck had a big jaw with head tilted to that side darted and found full of food stunk bad is there anything other than just clean it out

The orphan fawn I'm bottle raising seems to be doing very well (so far) on goat's milk. His stools are soft, but stick together. He is active, playful and bright. We're not sure of his age, but we think he's around 4-6 weeks old. How do we get him to eat anything other than a bottle? He...

when do you start giving fawns pellet food ?

Are silage bails good for deer, for instance containing alfalfa? What about regular silage bails...if such a thing. I don't know much about these. I belong to a private hunting club in PA. They were putting some of these alfalfa bails out through the winter months. Also we have several...

Was surfing the web and came accross this and thought is contained good information. All deer are ruminants and as such digest their food in basically two steps: Cervidae Rumination: Step 1 1a. First, they eat and incompletely chew the raw plant material they were foraging for...

What is something good to plant in your pens that doesn't require mowing? I dont own a bush-hog nor do I have access to one. I just have a riding mower.

I see in some of you guys videos and pics , your bucks will be in clover patches or some type of food plot. I'm sure this really helps as a supplement to your antler feed. I know this is not a area you can leave them on all the time, just about every third day is my thinking. My question is...

I was wondering If anyone out there has any pictures of food impactment? my problem is 2 weeks ago my deer got spooked by dogs and they crashed the fence, my doe was swollen on her right side at the top of her neck. I just thought it was from her crash but now the swelling has gone down and she...

I have a yearling doe that has had a problem with food impaction. About 3 months ago she got and impaction and almost died from it. She lost weight so quickly from not eating, and then developed an abcess just above her cheek which we assumed was from the impaction. We got her back on the road...

I am looking for advice on what to plant in my deer pens. I have used Imperial whitetail clover before and had success with it, but I would like to hear someone else's take, from a nutritional and cost effective standpoint, on what to plant. I have about 8-10 acres to plant. I had soil samples...
