Tes, that is moss. Down here in Florida, deer will definatly eat it, they love it. If a bad storm comes through, deer, as well as cattle will head to downed trees with moss, and moss blown to the ground. One of the oddest things I have witness, was a doe and 2 yearlings stripping a 6 ft Marajuana bush, of all leaves and buds they could reach in Nebraska. No, the marajuana was of the wild type. It was everywhere and gave my allergie hell!
I once hunted an area right next to some property that had a bunch of marijuana growing on it. I neverr could get the deer onto the property I was hunted. I tried calls, scents, you name it.Nothing. After a month of not seeing a deer, I decided to do something drastic, I decided to litter the ground with Cool ranch doritos, Potato chips and hooked up a small radio with Greatful dead playing on repeat. The next day 30 to 40 deer were at my stand. I just had to think to myself, "What would I want if I was a deer!"

That whole thing was made up, but it would be pretty funny if it happened!

I used to hunt When I was in College at the University of Kansas. I would find that stuff growing while walking for birds. Groups of 100-200 plants. I never wasthe smoking type (Beer is all I need) but I would take pictures and show them to my buddies. They werealways try to get the location from me. Ya, give away my hunting spots so a bunch of people can go smoke weed, that's not going to happen!
