With the warm weather and the grass growing I've noticed my deer are eating a lot of cool-season grasses. Especially at night when I'm driving.
What are your deer feeding on?
Cut corn fields....
I killed one a couple weeks ago and it was full of hedge apple.
Wild apples. This was a big crop year here and there's many trees still holding some.
acorns are still dropping here. We had a wet summer and no frost or cold weather so far.
I had 8 deer feeding in one of my turnip patches yesterday evening.
corn , beans, apples , acorns , beech nuts they have it all this year , mast crop was very heavy this year.
Green grass and pumpkins from Halloween we threw into our rubbish pile.
I have no clue. We had a really bad mast. Like almost no acorns. If they don't go to a field somewhere they are eating browse n it's going to be a rough winter on them. The deer I got had very little fat reserve.
Soy beans and corn in the harvested fields.
Beans, corn, browse.
Buck Oats, Chickory and Winter Wheat to name a few.
Mine are eating 7 acres of standing corn I put in for them and the turkeys
The one I got this year was full of corn. Think it was out of the neighboring property's feeder! :)
Browse, lots of green. They're in the picked corn fields but mainly for the grasses. Caught one bedded up the other day after I watched it cruise along some honey suckle.
I'm watching anything with new growth.
Corn and rye grass
anything green it seems.
Tons of acorns!
Not sure. Watched a button buck pulling something out from under oak leaves last night. Looked pale green yellow, so I am assuming old fobs covered by leaves. Our acorn mast crop was spotty, and most have already been eaten. Apples were good, but likewise becoming limited. Almost no agriculture, so browse and whatever else the can piece together.
whatever their eating here Its not growing in my spots 8^(
There is a Ton of acorns yet. I noticed a lot of browsing sign where I hunt. I have one more weekend to put it together.
Hedge apples are getting hit pretty hard right now. Not much mast around me this year.
Genetically modified corn. Starting to wonder how healthy it is to eat Indiana deer.
I have noticed a lot of deer eating moss off of old fallen logs recently. Absolutely no acorn mast this year where I live.
I had a group of 8 does feasting on honey locust seed pods last weds evening. I had no idea they ate these things. I think I just found a new food source to hunt over!
My neighbors corn pile! Actually, we had a very good acorn crop in Central WI. this past fall, saw plenty of deer feeding in the hardwoods.
