Pretty sure mice enjoy nibbling on them too! I've picked up many sheds with chew marks that are much smaller.

Badgers might, but probably wouldn't chew for long. They aren't knawing rodents like those dang squirrels!

@@UncleBucksYeah, they are not. Currently binge watching all your excellent work now as the season is pretty much over here. Food plots are razed and covered completely in 20cm snow that have glazed. The deer have migrated to the coast where there is less snow and more food. Over the pond here I don't think I have ever seen a blind with windows that are shut while hunting. Most hunting out of blinds here is done while the moon is up and making it possible to shoot with a good scope (artificial light is not allowed). But I like the thinking as you can stave off the deer going nocturnal if they are not stressed. Given that you get a fair bit of snow and that your hunting season stretches in to that period. What do you do to feed or attract deer on your property in that period? My property is as I wrote above mostly abandoned by them in that period. Then they return during spring,

@rolfnilsen6385 Using bait piles is illegal in WI, so unless there's an ag field with crops or fields with crop spoils, it's really tough to get one in late season. They don't really migrate here, they just relocate locally. I plant food plots. This year I have a few acres of corn. Next year it'll probably be soybeans. I'm blessed with property to be able to do that.

Thanks for checking out my videos!!

@@UncleBucks I struggle to find crops that will be available for the deer in the fields when the snow start to pile up and the soil freezes here at 63deg North (about same latitude as Alaska - but quite a lot milder due to weather patterns and the gulf stream). Did a walkabout today, and the fields were like deserts. No tracks - no food. Some tracks in the woods where there is browse.

Too bad they're not even harder to chew. The varmints can get their vitamins from the acorns and leave the antlers for us. 😆
