Hey guys, New to site wanted to check in with a Q and and a video I shot. I hunt in Canada anyone else here hunt deer in Ontario? I was out bass fishing and thought I would offer this up as a question.
What have you seen deer eating?
I have never seen or heard of deer eating lilly pads but check this doe I shot(with a video camera) pounding down the pads.

I've fed deer meatballs, pasta, candy, etc. this was at my lake house in PA......they are more or less tamed deer

WOW Ive never seen a deer eat a lily pad until now. Nice video...

I think it was last year someone on this forum posted a video of a doe eating a baby bird. Deer are browsers, so they eat many things.

I read of a captive doe killing and eating a rat. Hard to say if this is normal though under those conditions. The rat may have been attracted to the deer feed, and the doe may have had a fawn. The doe may have been trying to eliminate something that could attract predators as opposed to eating the rat for food.

Was really weird, I didnt know they ate lilly pads. It looked kinda bloated but skinny though. I wonder if the lilly pad diet was making it weird.

Right now I'm seeing 3-6 deer every night out in the lily pads of the Kalamazoo River near where I live when I'm exercizing my pointer. Some are in the water deep enough that it's half way up their sides.

Nice video,Here in Fla.they may want to eat lily pads but they would be gator food.

It was me.

Here is the video.
