What is a population of deer called?
A population of deer is commonly referred to as a "herd." This term is used to describe a group of deer that gather together, often for socializing, feeding, or protection from predators. Depending on the species, other terms like "mob" or "brace" may also be used, but "herd" is the most widely recognized.
How do antlerless deer tags in Wisconsin affect the deer population?
Hunting licenses help to regulate the deer herds. Having a deer license does not mean you can shoot any deer you want. You are allowed so many bucks and so many does. This helps to keep the deer herds in the optimal number so they don't all starve from overpopulation.
Yes - deer are mammals. They all are warm-blooded vertebrate animals of the class Mammalia, with a covering of hair on the skin and, in the female, milk-producing mammary glands for nourishing the young.
First of all, hunting over bait is illegal. "Field Plots," often a cultivated field of clover is an effective, and legal, way to attract deer, especially in the east. In the west where soybeans are a common crop, setting up watch on the edge of such a field is probably the best and easiest way to descry the animals.
For non-hunting applications, feeders filled with corn will certainly attract deer. Salt licks can also supply much needed nutrients.

First off, I don't know who left this message. Baiting deer is only illegal in states that make it that way. I hunt in some of the thickest nastiest areas in Washington State and if we weren't able to use some kind of attractant, we would never kill the 40,000 deer a year that we do. Our state would be over run. I personally use a compressed corn and molasses block. The deer love this stuff. C'mereDeer is a good one as well, but they literally eat all of it and you have to keep replacing it. The blocks last anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks depending on deer concentrations. Oh, and if there is a moose in the area, your block won't last near as long.
Good Luck

I agree with the second poster.. If your gonna answer a question.. make sure you know what your talking about.
each state has its own set of laws pertaining to baiting.. make sure you know the law about baiting in your area before doing it.
Apples work great .. Peanut butter is good.. corn is a good bait especially when the snow is on the ground and there is not much to eat.
I like to use apples and corn together.. just dump them on the ground right next to each other..
Good luck !!
Why are deer mouse called deer mouse?
Because fish is the plural for fish and moose is the plural for moose...
Why is series the plural for series?
Because sheep is sheep's plural and the plural of species is species....
All languages have their oddities, and I guess this is one of them. I find it funny when my little sister (4) always calls sheep (plural) 'sheeps'.
There is a handy site in the links bar below this which will look at plurals in words a little more closely. Hope I helped!

Yes, the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus ) is a herbivore.
Specifically, the term herbivore means herb- or plant-eater. The mule deer pursues a diet of plant parts. For example, the diet will include acorns and apples in season; berries, herbaceous plants, and some grasses in summer; and conifer parts and twigs in winter.
All deer are herbivores.
Wikipedia: "In summer, it chiefly forages on not only herbaceous plants, but also various berries (including blackberry, huckleberry, salal, and thimbleberry). Mule deer are known to forage in summer on California Buckeye leaves, even though there is some evidence of that plant's toxicity.[2] In winter, it forages on conifers (especially twigs of Douglas fir, cedar, Taxus yews, aspen, willow, dogwood, serviceberry, juniper, and sage). In season, it eats acorns and apples."
