I hunt Marathon, Taylor, Chippewa, & Clark counties and there were a lot of corn fields left standing all winter. I have to believe that the deer wintered and fed heavily on these fields. And should result in a healthier spring herd in these areas. The deer do not have to get back to their "summer weight" and more of their energy this spring/summer can be used for horn growth. In 45 years I never saw even close to the # of fields left standing and there are everywhere in this area. Do you think this will impact the rack size this fall? I personally think this could be a really good year for big bucks in the ag areas.
