mice, shrews, grasshoppers, pretty much anything they can fit. they need to fatten up for that snow thats almost here. more than looking for their feed, i target the trees they seem to live in/near. look for patches of deciduous trees.

Sunflowers. I just witnessed on my friends acreage deer pulls the stem and root from the ground to eat the top whole thing, seeds and the seed pod itself.

I've heard they are way more grazer than browser. I can tell you they sure seem to like the farms where I was last weekend. Didn't even see a doe in the bush but many on the farms.

Deer in different regions will browse on different foods. So it is difficult to provide a list of current browse because it all depends what the deer in your area have around them and what they prefer eating.
