Photo from TV - "Brownville's Food Pantry For Deer Trough View" on You Tube. 24 hour live cam. 400 lbs of oats are put out every day around 9 am from December 15 to April to help sustain the deer population in that area of Maine. Interesting site to watch. A couple hundred deer come each day.

Well that makes absolutely zero sense from a wildlife maintenance standpoint. If you need to put out 400lbs of food a day for them to survive in the Winter then you have too big a herd and they need to be thinned out unless this is on a private property ranch of sorts.

The deer are wild, but It's on private property, run by a non-profit, funded by donations and completely legal in the state of Maine during the months they are fed. The guy has been doing it for more than 30 years to help sustain the deer herd in this area. They don't need the food to survive. It just makes it a bit easier for them.
