One of my members just pours his corn in a pile. I mean, duh.... when it gets wet, it's not if, but when, and it's soon, going to start mildewing with heavy dew or rain. I asked him to at least spread his corn out where the kernels are not touching each other and where they have the opp to dry out after a rain.
It seems like common sense to figure that one out. Maybe mildewing corn is fine but I'd spread it out where it could reasonably dry out after a rain. I don't think alpha toxins get enough consideration as it pertains to wildlife.

Probably way more on an absolute number basis.

Oh Id agree with that but texas also doesnt get but half the rainfall that we do yearly statistically so its a drier environment overall also. a trough up off the ground, or a broadcast feeder throwing out small amounts is much better than a big pile dumped out.

Most of the deer/turkey corn sold in Texas is certified as free from aflatoxin. Very few just dump it on the ground, that's what God created timed feeders for. That was my understanding. Unsure of what's sold here. will look next time I go to feed store.

Dumping corn in a pile doesn’t cause aflatoxin. May cause rot. But not aflatoxin

^^^^ he’s right you know. Why are people acting like no corn has ever been put out in bama?? Tons upon tons has been being poured out for years. Now folks just don’t have to wear tennis shoes!

Taken from the link below. The worry isn’t over once corn is purchased. Hunters should store and feed corn carefully to assure that mycotoxins don’t increase.Since the toxin- producing fungigrow best under warm, humid conditions, hunters and wildlife enthusiasts need toguard against ever letting corn get wet. http://counties.agrilife.org/motley/files/2011/05/cautionocrn.pdf

Simple answer is people don't care past shooting a deer because it is so incredibly hard to kill one in Alabama. So anything that makes it achievable is acceptable and be damn the side effects!
