Yes. Discourages, but allows it. Except during hunting season, when it's used as bait. It can actually do more harm than not feeding them.

Could possibly, if done improperly.

Yes. Like feeding them kitchen scraps, potatoes, cabbage and lettuce trimmings. High sugar feed, like apples, should be introduced no later then early December, and you should be prepared to feed through February, and expect more deer in February than December. What is recommended is a complete dairy or deer feed in pelltized form. Everything you're looking to do is the improper way to do it.

So where did you get your degree? And what’s your profession? Never said I was going to be giving them strictly apples and only apples.

Neither did I. You're here asking for apples and waste produce. I don't have a degree in Environmental science, but I can read the " Winter feeding of deer: What you need to know" pamphlet from MEIF&W.

So what does it say about mixing in apples with grains, and oats? Funny my post never actually asked for an environmental science lesson.

God damn you're a dense motherfucker ain't you. What's got you so triggered that you can't handle any disagreement. Keep moving those fucking goalpost, eventually you'll wear people down and they'll stop responding to you and you'll "win" the argument.
