That is a bet you would lose. There was never any question as to what caused this. No matter where you source the corn, it has retained moisture. This was a product of very hot weather. At 100 degree temps, the heat in that feeder may have got over 130-140 degrees when hit it. Maybe even higher temps than that. Even at 10% moisture it would have pulled the moisture out. The particular corn they bought is tagged with a moisture range, and a aflatoxin content of less than 20 ppb.
And maybe the metal barrel is a problem.
But the point of this thread was to see how many of you numb nuts would jump on the chance to tell someone, who was trying to be responsible, how stupid they are, how they did something wrong, and just how great corn is for wildlife. You did not disappoint. Except in one aspect, we thought we would get a least 1-3 who might say something about the risks of feeding in high temp, high humidity weather, or just that they wished that baiting was not legal.
As far as the Kansas comment- educate yourself, just a little bit, on deer biology. Not enough to be an expert, just enough to understand how their digestion system works and what a sudden over abundance of a food with not good digestibilty can be bad for them. It doesn’t just appear by the ton overnight in Kansas like does here.

To an earlier poster- YES,YES, YES, the intent was to cause a ruckus!!!
Floor is open, let the bullshit begin!!
