As cooler temperatures approach, so does the temptation to attract or “help” wildlife during the winter by offering food. However, the risks to wildlife greatly outweigh any benefits you may believe you are providing. Feeding wildlife, especially deer, can lead to dangerous habituation, illness, and even death.

For deer, foods like “deer corn” are low in protein, high in carbohydrates, and can carry harmful toxins. Over time, this will cause hoof disfigurement, digestive illness, and conditions such as necrobacillosis, or “lumpy jaw,” making it almost impossible for the deer to eat. As you can see in the photo above, this condition can lead to emaciation and, sadly, death.

While we understand that many people feed wildlife with good intentions, we implore you to consider the adverse consequences and remember that the best foods for wild animals come from their natural environment. 🍂
