@deerassociation: What do deer eat in winter? They live off fat they stored when forage and mast was abundant, but they supplement that energy source with browse: The twigs and buds of dormant woody shrubs. The best way to supply winter food for deer is to manage the habitat for plenty of early successional, young forest cover like you see in this video filmed at @Kip Adams Pennsylvania hunting land. #deerhabitat #deerscience #whitetails #deer #nationaldeerassociation
