Here's why:
* Feeding deer can be harmful. It can lead to them becoming dependent on humans for food, which can disrupt their natural foraging behaviors and make them more vulnerable to predators, diseases, and car accidents.
* It can be illegal. In many areas, feeding deer is prohibited.
* It can be harmful to deer. Feeding the wrong types of food can cause nutritional imbalances and health problems.
Instead of feeding deer, focus on creating a healthy habitat for them by planting native plants that provide food and shelter. You can also contact your local wildlife agency for information on how to best support deer populations in your area.
