Lily and I in a peaceful moment. I imagine there are lots of people who would call me an idiot for doing this.I wouldn't feed an animal out in the wild. (Bowen doesn't really seem like 'the wild' for deer, since there are no real predators). I respect the natural order of things. But Lily is clearly already habituated to humans, and she has a pretty busy life of finding food for herself and her young, whether or not I feed her. Anyhow, she gets all the compost foods - like this bowl of green beans that were dry and mealy. She feasted like a queen on them. It's an amazing feeling to have a non-captive animal friend who regularly comes to visit. Even if her motives are plain. It takes the edge off loneliness, that's for sure.
