    They push their nose into it looking for the leaves.

      The elk usually get to it before the mule deer can get to it. Once the elk find it there will be a herd there every night.

        That's crazy!.

            They don’t like the stems.

              I’ve never seen deer in East Texas where I hunt eat it. Until this past year. They were so hungry by the time the end of November got here, they were eating 30 mins after I put it out. They prefer the leaves in it vs the stem part
