RE: I've never heard of
Doemaster a deer yard is common in Ontario. It is when the deer herd up usually in a sheltered area like a hemlock or cedar swamp during the winter. This is often call yarding. As for a deer feeding yard, it not uncommon for MNR to provide some extra food for the deer in these areas. Yards can have anywhere from a few deer to a few hundred deer in them. Hope this helped.
