Do you feed the wildlife your leftover or stale scraps?
I always do. Sometimes i buy them treats too. The robins get mealworms and the foxes get chicken and the deer get carrots.

Never. People are asked not to do that around here, because it encourages the animals to venture into the populated areas. Some have gotten into backyards, attacked pet dogs and cats. There are lots of coyotes, mountain lions and even the occasional bear sighting in some parts not too far away.

I rescued a deer hanging upside down in barbed wire ..
I cut the wire ,it dropped to its back ,jumped up and ran off ..
Everyone was “haven’t you seen the video when animals attack “?
Yeah ,,have you ever tried to chew your own leg off because it hurt and you were trapped and helpless ?
I shoot game I don’t torture it ..
I stopped doing that when I cut down a huge shepherd and he got in my car and climbed on top of my son in his car seat ,then wanted to eat me up getting him out of my car ..
I’d still rescue anything or anyone ,that’s what I do ..
But no longer if my family is with me
If I die doing good that’s one thing ,,
If my action’s had gotten my son hurt ..
I couldn’t live with that ..

@rckt148 In the hills where my parents live, there are a lot of deer. There was a little tiny fawn on their porch, once when I was visiting. Just looking at all of us. My sister wanted to go to it, but Pop held her back, and sure enough, a doe appeared and led it away.

Yeah ,getting them used to humans is bad for several reasons ..
1 they start to depend on humans ,deer are controlled by 2 things ,eating and mating ..
2 if the find a good source of food more follow (the reason baiting is not allowed during hunting )
3 once they become a menace FGW will have to come in and allow a kill ,,
Parks and populated areas ,,
Hitting one even at slow speeds will do a lot of damage to a car ,,
Then it ways there and suffers until it bleeds out or someone puts it down .
Lots of people try to turn them into puts , .it’s harmless until it grows antlers and it’s mating season ,,
Not so cute then ..
And if scared they can raise up and put a hooves through you ..
Best to scare them off ,
They also destroy crops and gardens ..
