Scouting at the Skinning Pole

I'm wondering how many people look at the contents of deer's stomachs, to find out what the deer are eating. Like the CSI, it could tell you the whole story. I would bet that most has corn in our area. I know for a fact that food plots work, from what I've seen in most deer's stomachs.

I usually look at the contents of their backstrap, to find out what I'll be eating.

But seriously, thats a good idea, I guess that I never think of it because I never want to puncture the stomach while I'm cleaning one. But when throwing out the guts, it wouldn't be a bad idea to open up the stomachs to see what they're feeding on. It might give you a good insight into where they're feeding the most.
