Interesting fact about Deer

Did you know that generally whitetailed deer need to consume about 3% of their body weight each day in food?

So if the average buck is between 125 to 250 pounds, they have to consume between 4000 and 6000 calories per day.

That translates to about 4 to 10 pounds of food per day. No wonder they are destroying shrubbery and gardens throughout the neighborhoods!
