What can you feed a wild deer?

0

The deer that frequent our yard regularly love milled corn, apples, pears and some of the females like bread! I read on WikiAnswers that deer will eat carrots and I plan on trying that out this afternoon. There are 3 or 4 deer (even enormous bucks) that come within a few feet of us and will stand in our yard and stomp their feet till we come out and give them something to eat. One young buck has walked right up to me and poked a piece of apple in my hand! There’s also a little fawn we have named Mary Belle that has walked up to me, stopping only about 2 or 3 feet away. If you are consistent with the feeding, move slowly as to not spook them, they will become accustomed to you and will get closer and closer as they learn to trust you. A doe we call Trudy will stand right at our porch wanting apples!
