There are lots of reasons, one of which is that you begin to modify their behavior. Thanks for your input Admin Christine,

This winter has been relentless in snow. It will melt a little bit only to have more snow....I have watched the mothers and last summers fawns digging at the snow far too many times. I go into town to the day old bakery and buy bread and rolls by the cart full. I, also, get my local grocery store to give me their apples that they are getting ready to throw away. I cannot in good conscience fill my stomach up in a nice heated house only to look out at these voiceless creatures foraging....So, I feed them....only until the snow melts away. When that happens there is plenty of grass in this area to sustain them. So, until then, I will try to atleast sustain them through these bad snippets of winter. They are beautiful creatures.....and I know my house is built on their former eating grounds. THIS IS THE LEAST I COULD DO FOR THEM......GOD BLESS THE VOICELESS......Christine in Oregon I, too, am feeding the deer here in my area …south central Oregon in the Klamath Falls area.

I USE GOOD GRADE FOOD AND PROVIDE WATER THROUGH OUT THE YEAR. THE HERD RANGES FROM 30 TO 10 DEPENDING ON THE SEASON. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 15 YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SHOW UP WITH SCOURS AND I HAVE MANAGED TO CLEAR THEM BY USING WAYS THAT WORK FOR OTHER GRAZING ANIMALS. I FEEL WE OWE IT TO WILDLIFE SINCE WE ARE TAKING MORE AND MORE OF THEIR LIVING SPACE FOR OUR LIVING AND PLAY AREAS. I FEED THE MULE DEER IN MY AREA OF GREEN RIVER.
