It's this one:

That's too blame for the excess food consumption. 

Note how it's just sitting right IN the food with no regard for it's Barrelmates. 

 

Clearly.

The BBT and I have held much counsel about this suggestion. 

We conclude that it will work.

Yep they sure do like bird seed, they really like the fruit and nuts kind.

I set out some oats in a shallow pan late this afternoon for the small doe, after my oat supply has been used up I'm going to bring some wheat into the warm basement and see if she likes spouts.

Once the grain ha been re-hydrated, I'll need to transfer into a larger pan. This is new turf for me and I'm not sure how long it'll take for the wheat to sprouts or even if the deer will eat them.

If you have a "Deer Crossing" sign near your house, maybe you can get the county to move it down the road a bit???  :confusion-confused:

@bc.gold My bird feeder is in the shape of a house up on a post. So much feed falls to the ground I was considering a pan like yours. Then again I never knew cats liked bird seed so I'm just going to keep it like it is

You could put an electric fence charger on it. It would only shock whatever touches it and the ground at the same time...:scared-eek:

Our cat asked to go out doors to use her greenhouse facility but when she spotted two deer I ended up carrying her part way.

Maybe a informational sign in in order:

Warning 0ut of season shooting deer is illegal

The grain in this pan is for birds, squirrels and other small animals

Any deer eating this grain will be shot on sight!
