[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deer are wild animals. If you feed them, they will have no fear of humans and start “begging” for food.[/quote] I don't feed them in person. They live in my yard anyway, in the section that grows wild next to county property.[/quote] You will carry the food to the stand with your human-stinking hand, yes? Deer have great noses. When they smell humans on their food, they associate food with humans. When they can walk up to five feet away from your house and acclimate to you, they associate food with humans and no longer have fear of us. It’s not going to get ugly for you like it would if a bear associated humans with food, but feeding deer is not a good idea for health, ecological, social and probably a host of other reasons.[/quote] No, I use my garden glove, and there is no stand. And why do you assume five feet from the house? It's more like 100 feet.[/quote]
