Hmmmm, not sure if he was actually eating to consume. Might have had a chance to snag him after the squirrel was barking unceasingly at the deer, and just took him out. :grin:
 
Deer have been documented eating everything from dead fish washed up on a lake shoreline, to dead porcupines, to live quail chicks, to turkey eggs.

I have seen deer eat dried up, winter killed shad washed up on the banks of Tellico lake.

Very interesting stik. I've read reports of deer around lake Michigan eating fish washed up on shore.

So your saying it's the deer and NOT the turkeys that are responsible for the demise of my beloved grouse in Southern Appalachia? :)

If deer will eat a live baby quail, I think anything is fair game!
 
When I was younger we had a little buck that hung around the house. He'd eat Rotell chips and dip, fried chicken, biscuits, flowers,and etc. he was just like a goat.

Wish they would learn to eat chipmunks.
Pound for pound the LOUDEST animal in the woods.

Size 40 feet with a size 1 body!

In my opinion a deer is a "glorified goat". Deer will almost anything.

Although deer can be amazingly picky eaters, over time, their range of food sources is quite large.
