what do deer eat?

Deer are grass eaters, they have a relatively large rumen compare to body size, and depend heavily on grasses for their diet. Grasses are relatively low in crude protein and digestibility when compared with legumes or forbs. Deer feed on grass twigs, bark, and shoots. They also like carrots and sugar beets.  Deer also eat wheat stubs and other crops farmers plant, such as a favorite of their's, corn. They like to eat corn since that is what alot of people use to get them to come in there yards to hunt them. Even though they are luring it in, it's still good sportmanship.
