Keep mule deer wild, avoid feeding them
Wintering Wildlife

Each winter, well-intentioned people begin to feed wildlife, under the assumption it will ensure their survival through winter. Unfortunately, feeding of any kind causes more harm than good to mule deer and only furthers their decline. Mule deer are adapted to their environment and specifically to the plants they rely on to survive.?*Human fed mule deer often die from starvation with full stomachs of food they can not digest.
