White-Tailed Deer Management

White-tailed deer are "browsing" animals. They eat a wide variety of foods and the food selected will depend on its availability, abundance, and the season of the year. No one food is eaten in great amounts throughout the year. These facts must be considered when attempting to improve or manage deer habitat. Food studies indicate a marked change in feeding habits from summer to winter. Management should be directed toward insuring adequate food supplies during all seasons of the year.
