bc.gold 3,403 #26 Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) The deer in our area must have a natural salt lick as they're not using the one I set out, as for feeding now that the weather has warmed up we only have a couple of deer visiting once a day. The feed set out early this morning still remains untouched so it looks like they prefer a natural browse when its available.

bc.gold 3,403 #27 Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) The larger does which had mated in the fall do not allow an unbreed juvenile too share food they're booted aside where they wait patiently, as the days became longer the larger deer which had bred in the fall are now easily spooked, These Does are no longer showing up for food I believe they've gone off to give birth.
