Here's what they do eat:
* Grasses: A major part of their diet, especially in open areas.
* Forbs: These are leafy, herbaceous plants like wildflowers and clover.
* Browse: They also eat twigs, buds, and leaves from trees and shrubs.
* Fruits: Apples, berries, and acorns are seasonal treats for deer.
Their main focus is finding enough food to survive and maintain their energy, especially during the breeding season when they need to compete with other males for mates.
