When infected deer congregate at an artificial feeding site, they could easily infect other deer that visit the same site. “It’ll facilitate more rapid transmission of disease,” says Fuda. 4.
The plant material eaten is known as browse [3] and is in nature taken directly from the plant, though owners of livestock such as goats and deer may cut twigs or branches for feeding to their stock. [4] In temperate regions, owners take browse before leaf fall, then dry and store it as a winter feed supplement.

Foraging is the oldest subsistence pattern, with all human societies relying on it until approximately 10,000 years ago. [2] Foraging societies obtain the majority of their resources directly from the environment without cultivation. Also known as Hunter-gatherers, foragers may subsist through collecting wild plants, hunting, or fishing. [1]
Each time you rework the soil for a subsequent season of plantings add the same organic materials in half the amounts listed and rototill to the same 10 to 12 inches. • Have your soil tested now ...
Optimal foraging theory has been used to predict animal behaviour when searching for food, but can also be used for humans (specifically hunter-gatherers). Food provides energy but costs energy to obtain. Foraging strategy must provide the most benefit for the lowest cost – it is a balance between nutritional value and energy required.
A 1977 study of European fallow deer in the New Forest of Britain found that European fallow deer were selective mixed feeders, feeding primarily on grass (and to a less extend on herbs and browse) during the spring and summer (March–September), while primaily feeding on acorns and other mast during autumn (from September) until late December ...
Group foraging can thus reduce an animal's foraging payoff. [27] Group foraging may be influenced by the size of a group. In some species like lions and wild dogs, foraging success increases with an increase in group size then declines once the optimal size is exceeded. A myriad number of factors affect the group sizes in different species.
