Deer eat corn on the cob (on the stalk)?

On the family farm in MN we had a barn right next to one of our corn fields. There was a platform hanging off the side for a reason. That field was a hot spot. And if you were shooting a rifle, once it went bang, you'd see tons of deer jump up out of that field and run.

Thanks guys. I think I knew the answer as it came to me the other day. Started noticing lots of trails headed into the corn field. I see deer all over my small property, just none of them coming to the feeder for pics. The corn has been harvested, so I'm thinking I will start getting pics again. I guess it's good that he plants every year. It holds the deer in my area and can support lots of deer. Just wish I had more does.

I have seen where deer will even prefer one variety of corn over another. Back when I used to plant variety trials, I remember where you could tell that the deer went right down the rows of a certain variety and ignored the others.
Farmers also sometimes will plant an acre or two of sweet corn for the family. And the coons are real quick to find it.

Not only are they eating the corn... the younger ones are living in it.

Amazing how they do this with no upper front teeth.
