How hungry are those deer?

icarusI put the bird feeder out of deer reach (though they can still get the other one so I'm leaving it empty). My aunt came home from the hospital night shift to find two deer nibbling away at it. That's one more than I knew of.
I figured it would be a hungry winter for the deer because it seems they had an extra mating season in our warm autumn. To replace the lost bird seed -- and to draw them away from my front yard garden, yeep -- I tossed some apples in the woods.
Checked this afternoon to see if they (or other critters) had found them.
Oh, heck yeah. All apples gone. Them's some hungry deer.
It'll be a bit before I can put out some feed corn. I figure a full deer in the woods is a deer that doesn't want the bother of walking alllll the way round to my garden and a bird feeder she can't reach.
