I just read an article on Nevadas website (www.ndow.org) telling people not to feed mule deer this winter. The article specifically mentions that alfalfa hay is particularly bad.
I know some states winter feed and I know some private land owners in Utah who winter feed mule deer. Does anybody know how much is being done in the different states? What kind of feed is used for mule deer?
Do you think we should be doing more? I know that some winters are really hard on deer. Is it cost effective or very practical?
Thanks for your info and thoughts.
