... however it's not a good idea to feed wild deer. If they're caged then of course you need to feed them.
But if you feed wild deer they never learn how to find their own food, and the results are usually bad.

I live in Pennsylvania and we have white-tail deer all over the place - city, suburbs, and country. They can't be hunted in city limits (for obvious reasons) so they just go around getting into people's gardens and eating their shrubs. They're quite a nuisance in a lot of areas.
