Have a bunch on a main deer trail. They walk by all the time going to the bedding area 100 yards away. I never seen them stop and eat it but they been feeding all night and are most likey just wanting to lay down in the shade...

Do deer eat the leaves, or the actual berries? I've got a few patches of them I thought about fertilizing.

Based on what i've seen they eat both the leaves and berries but not until late in the season. I've had good success hunting around beauty berry bushes in early December.

We get a good bit of browse on it on our place in late august-early september when other browse has matured out and is getting tough and less palatable. Once acorns start dropping it tapers off.

X3. Not something they will congregate to. Might browse them when headed to a real food source. Ive seen them browse sweetgum leaves green and dried up but its not a significant food source to target them on.
