Most of a deer’s diet is browsing woody plants for leaves, buds, twigs. Especially in winter. They move to wide open crops when they’re desperate to survive, not it because it’s preferred. It’s said a deer needs to eat 6-8% of its weight to stay healthy, how could G&F possibly sustain the population? I don’t know how accurate this is, but a quick Google shows that the 2023 ND whitetail population is 150,000. Quick math on the conservative side, 5% body weight, 125 lb average deer, we’re taking almost a million pounds of supplemental feed needed every day. And that’s not including mule deer. Who pays for this? Where is it sourced? How is it allocated and spread? God speed to those landowners who do feed and keep small pockets of deer alive, but overall the herd relies on habitat.</p></blockquote><p></p>
