Deer & Deer Hunting magazine had an interesting article in their recent issue titled: "Overlooked Whitetail Foods". We all likely know that deer eat more than just farm crops; mast, forbs, leaves, etc., but good luck identifying these other food sources, or knowing when to hunt them with the exception of easy one`s like Persimmon trees, or Oak trees during years of good mast production.
Do any of you guys know what any of these other, less obvious deer foods are, and do you have a plan for hunting them? If you`ve identified other food sources, it`s likely that you`ll see deer there, inside the treeline, up and moving before dark, even when they may be less likely to enter a crop field while still light. And of course, big woods deer have nothing but whatever foods the woods provide for them, and the guys who hunt them almost certainly know what woodland foods deer eat, and which they prefer.
Whether you hunt deer in farmlands or big woods, what foods do you target inside the woods, and how do you identify them?
