Default Can I feed deer in winter

Hey there

I'm wondering if someone here knows if I can feed deer in the winter. I want to feed them some apples and carrots, I know the deer don't need the food, they have oviesly been surviveing for thousands of years on there own. The reason for feeding is I would like to keep them coming threw the property as there haven't been any lately.Just recently I read something saying that it is possible to actually kill deer if you feed them in the winter because there used to eating the things they usually eating in the winter and they can't digest things like apples corn and carrots, then they sadly starve and die. So I would like to feed them but I don't want to hurt the deer either. My neighbour has just started feeding them corn soaked in mallasas. I'm not sure if that is good for them either.

Thanks
