Neither is corn. We have a biologist on our neighborhood site and she is adamant to let the deer find their own food. She said putting out water is fine, but not food.Keep in mind that hay isn't a good food for them. As much as you feed them other things they probably won't try to eat much hay, but if they do they will have a hard time digesting it.
Do Deer Eat Hay? (Yes, But They Shouldn't!)
When the winter rolls around and food is not easy to come by in the wild for certain animals, many of us naturally want to help them! For those of us who arewildyards.com
The problem is that deer digestion is a finely tuned physiological process. Just the right combination of microorganisms, enzymes, and pH enable deer to digest a normal winter diet of woody vegetation. When offered a sudden supply of corn, a deer’s digestive system doesn’t have time to adjust to a high carbohydrate diet. The result can be acute acidosis followed by death within 72 hours.
Warmed up enough today so sat on porch. So here's a few pictures of my other "shop dogs". Mr 8 point came by to harass the does. This picture taken off porch.
