Eating feed contaminated by other animals disease carrying saliva or inhaling bacteria. Auto accidents Feeding often draws animals away from natural feeding locations into high traffic areas. Habitat and crop loss High concentrations of deer can retard forest regeneration, change plant species composition and cause significant crop depredation. They damage privately owned crops, vegetable gardens and ornamental plants. Behavior changes Feeding can make wild animals less fearful of humans, delay winter migration and even result in starvation if animals have not migrated to wintering areas and feeding ceases. DEER AND THE DNR It is not uncommon for deer to eat themselves to death despite having fat reserves. While providing piles of corn, hay, or other feed can feel like a good act, it often results in bad consequences like the following: Feeding & attractant ban A deer feeding ban is in effect for all or portions of 11 Minnesota counties. Feed is defined as salt, minerals, grains, fruit, vegetables, nuts, hay, and other food that is capable of attracting or enticing deer. People who feed small birds or small mammals must do so in a manner that precludes deer access or place the food at least six feet above ground level.
