I think the correct answer is; north, sun facing clearings on the tops. I thing they can still be found in riverbeds moring and night.

Roger Lentle says deer only eat grass in spring. I think they eat grass all year. Especially if its nice and green.

Id love.to.get a copy of that book thought just to see what he thinks.

Lentle knows a lot of stuff but not all of the stuff. Treat his books as guidelines rather than rules. The deer will still be on the very best feed areas scoffing up large in mainly discrete sex groups but with spikers and young chaps mixed with the hinds. The hinds have come out of seclusion with their fawns and have formed into groups and are quite visible. In a few weeks the stags will disappear as they move to their rutting areas. The hinds will remain quite visible. Knock some hinds over.
