Best to check to see if feeding deer in your state is legal. Many states outlawed that practice due to deer being concentrated with the possibility of passing on disease especially CWD. Most biologists don't recommend feeding deer in the winter since their metabolism changes in winter and that high fat food often can't be digested. In addition feeding can concentrate deer away from natural winter yard areas where they are protected. Welcome to HNI.
