Branch licking behavior to mark territory. Here a couple of twin bucks I had the pleasure of taking pics of them doing this.

@belleswell you definitely have a wonderful piece of nature on your hands. An unbelievable connection to the land, and the wildlife!

Both the gent in this Johnsonville sausage commercial and myself are named Jeff. It reminds me of the sanctuary I have with the animals we see daily. Every morning I throw about 3 gallons of black oil sunflower seeds on the ground for the wild turkeys that softly purr and cluck to me. Many of them only 5 to 10 feet from me.

Alrighty...I've been watching them all week. The clear winner is the peanuts. They absolutely go ballistic for those. The next most popular item was apples, then frozen corn, then broccoli, then carrots (surprising) and I'm not sure they even ate a sweet potato
Not in the contest because I didn't have much but spaghetti squash was hit hard too.
Playoff......will google some numbers.
@Smokey0418 and @Feva pick a number between 1 and 99. You can post it here or dm me with it
effin peanuts, lol

Most of my Pink Lotus info is on here. The ones I sent you are part of "purple project" and are selected for that color. These are the first step in that direction. You might get something strikingly purple......it's in there (somewhere)

uh oh....
this actually can hurt the deer if im not mistaken.
so during the winter, the deers natural gut microbiome dies off with the seasons changing, and they grow gut microbes that can digest bark and wood and twigs and such,instead of being more geared towards just grass and juicy foilage. hence OP noticing the deer eating juniper.
when you then feed the starving deer something rich like corn or apples, it can really mess up their digestive system.
think about someone whose lost in the woods for a month and starving. when you find them, you cant take them to mcdonalds and feed them 3 big macks when all they have been eating is non nutrient dense food, they will get sick.
maybe its not as extreme as the one post i ran across made it seem, but it was clear that feeding starving deer in the winter corn is a bad idea.
sorry to be a debby downer just thought ide pass it along
