Yer welcome bro,

I have an incredible book for anyone interested to read. It's called Heart and Blood by Richard Nelson.

Anyway, I don' think that's where I picked up that tidbit of information and I posted this here before, :

There was a bird study happening and within the study, nests were being destroyed so they set up video and still cameras to see why the nests were being destroyed. What they caught was whitetail deer seeking out and eating the young birds out of the nests.

Another study I believe on the west coast reported that whitetails would travel the beaches and pick up and eat fish when the beached themselves on a particular fish run.

I've heard of it also but never seen it being the velvet is usually off already around here in Central Minnesota when deer hunting starts. I have seen allot of deer eat the gut piles of previous shot deer that I've gotten or my brother has shot.

never knew that about velvet...

did hear they eat meat though...dad said he watched a herd feed on the banks of a river one day and couldnt figure out what in the world they were feeding on on a gravel/rocky bank...went over and found they were eating freshwater clams or muscles or something of that sort...
