Aww. That made me smile and restore my faith in humanity. My thoughts then turned to are they doing this for the deer or setting them up for people who shoot them for fun?
I can't help it. I wasn't always like this. Sadly, life has taught me to trust no one.
I do know there are kind and thoughtful people in the world. They make the world a better place. A much better place. There are others in the world who make it a cruel and ugly place.
I hope the good outnumber the bad. One can only hope.
Thanks for posting that. It did make me smile when I first saw it. It still does every time I look at it. :)

birdgal , I'm glad you are enjoying this. The blurb on the YouTube Site describes this as a genuinely good-hearted thing: "The Brownville Food Pantry For Deer feeds up to 600 pounds per day of native oats (local) to help sustain the white-tailed deer population through rough winters here in Brownville, Maine. Feeding happens daily around 08:00(8AM) to 09:00(9 AM) Eastern Standard Time starting December 16 and continues to around the beginning of April. These are wild deer and this is not a deer farm. Some of the deer have been coming for more than 10 years. At times there are 100+ deer at the pantry. Wild turkeys also come and eat the native oats along side the deer. There is no Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD in wild deer in Maine. Please dont complain about it in chat. These deer are all very healthy and there has never been any type of disease spread among these deer. This "Yarding" of deer happens in Maine every winter, even if they were not being fed. You may see deer that are lame. Experts tell us that leaving them alone is the best thing we can do for them. Thank You for watching!" I hope this helps restore your faith that there is still lots of good in humanity, despite all the negative stuff. Have a lovely Christmas, and all the best for 2023!
