Deer are ruminants. That means they regurgitate food from multiple stomachs, chew it and re-swallow it. They depend largely on certain types of bacteria to digest the food as it returns to one of their stomachs. If there is a severe winter and a human with good will is intent on helping the deer, with feed and they put out a lot of hay. The deer may fill up on the hay. But, they have not developed the proper bacteria to digest the hay they will starve even if their stomachs are full. However, their best foods are nuts and vegetables, acorns, are their favorite. So, if they feed on hay, when other foods are available the digestion of the other foods will help in the digestion of smaller amounts of hay. Deer eat very small amounts of browse in the winter.
