Not that the deer will eat it but I would clean it up and get rid of it just incase. Mold is very bad for the digestive tract.

i had a crap load of deer coming in here eating my corn i was putting out 50lbs a week and thought it would be easier to carry the little bag in rather then a 50lbs bag in i got pics of the deer eating the corn rather then the acorn rage when they both where only 5ft apart and once the mold happen the deer stopped coming by totaly

I don't know Cat but maybe you can eat some and see what happens?

Not a big deal.
Go in with a shovel and bury that stuff. Deer will not eat something that will hurt them, they aren't that stupid. Move 10-15 feet over and build a new bait pile. Follow the directions on the bag and you should be fine.
Mold grows all over in the woods, no need to remove it, it's not in your home. It'll cool down soon enough and the mold will die.
Warmer weather, rain, etc. will cause things like this to happen. Spreading it around more would have probably helped slow the growth, but its too late now.

More gimmick BS!!!

This stuff will work, if your in the middle of a swamp. Somewhere that there is nothing but browse, but a bedding area nearby.

If you have natural food source its no better than putting out any other bait.

Corn is $5-$9 for 50 lbs
Apples are $8-$12 for 80 lbs
Both are much better choices and extremely better values.

5 pounds vs. 50, no brainer.
