Best Answer

Salvias are not a favorite food for deer. However, they will eat some when plants they consider tasty are in short supply. There is no such thing as deer-proof plants, but you can limit deer damage to your landscaping and vegetable garden by planting lots of sages and other plants that aren't among deer favorites.

Hungry deer will eat salvia, but it is not their first choice. They would much rather eat hosta or daylilies.

What is the best food that can you can gain food very quickly?

Depends on where you live. If you have deer in the area you set out a salt lick (food) to attract some deer (gained food). Use the same logic to bait bear (lots of gained food) Fishing, same thing. Use some corn to get fish. Since you asked "what is the best food" I would have to go with the mother-in- law. You take one annoying mother-in-law and use her for grizzly bait. Kill two birds with one stone type scenario. Glad I could help!
