Want plants deer eat in winter in Southern Delaware.

Natural Forage

• Nut/acorn trees (oaks, hickories).
• Wild berry bushes.
• Ferns, sedges, native grasses.

Caution

Artificial feeding (kale, lettuce, mustard) can concentrate deer, causing crop damage for neighbors. Support natural habitat instead.

This isn’t the author’s specialty, but these are ecologically sound choices.
