We have a couple inches of growth in some pastures were not using and they feed there quite a bit at night .In the woods we have some trees that still have leaves and any they can reach are gone .They don't eat them through the summer but this time of year it seems to be a main food source .

On my property I notice that the deer eat the laurel trees pretty hard. I have trees thats are totally bare.

Here in my neck of the woods the elk and deer are feeding together on all the available browse they can find.... above the 2-3 foot snow line. My mineral and salt licks are getting hit hard. I too have been putting out apples and corn for winter carbohydrates combined with alfalfa bails for extra protein.
