They sure like that purty grass T.Most likely because it's fertilized.It adds a sweetness to plants.If a fellow were to fertilize a grove of oaks the deer would pick the fertilized oaks over the non fertilized oaks every time.
Just thought I'd throw that tid bit in there.
I see alot of deer eating grass lawns also not to mention along the highways.So we can conclude that deer and elk do share the same foods.
Here's some food for thought for all of us whipper snappers.The DCNR along with the birders have been complaining about the deer eating wildflowers and especially trilliam.{spelling}Why is it OK for the elk to eat the wildflowers?
