Deer eat meat!
a good friend who is an avid hunter also saw where they documented deer eating baby birds out of their nest. Have you ever heard of this?

RE: Deer eat meat!
Never heard of that but I know some deer have eaten meat. Some feed contains animal product and that's how CWD got across the Mississippi. At least that's what I've read.

Wirehair they said that most deer prefer the Summit climbers for gathering the chicks in the spring!

RE: Deer eat meat!
Yep, I've read that in several articles over the years...no names of which I can recall right off hand but they were credible sources. If I remember correctly the cases were very rare and it wasn't like meat was even close to a major staple of a whitetails diet.
