Isn't it frowned upon to feed critters in CO? Most of us will to a minor extent, it's just human nature. But jeeze, when you can just holler and the deer come a-runnin'.....

I remember when I went to Outdoor Lab in 6th grade up at Mount Evans, you could say "apples" to the local deer and they would come right up to you expecting a treat.
Looks like a bunch of good dinner running around in my eyes!
Attachment 38987there's a few of those places right next to blm land. Pistols are all you need.
Only one problem, those aren't mule deer, those are whitetails. Look at the antlers. Could of been Wisc, etc. Either way, not very smart!
Looks like mule deer to me... They're not quite that friendly around here, but close. Lots of folks feed the deer up here.
Too bad we can't do the same with liberals and load them into cargo ships back to China. Whistle, here liberals, liberals, liberals.....tax increases, abortion, woman's rights, ACLU, all aboard.
Those are white tail, and the bucks are young but extremely well fed. He is going to have some huge trophy class deer in about 2 years.... I wonder if he's a prepper and this is all just part of his plan [AR15]
Those are mule deer. Look at the face of the first one by the porch. Look at the landscape, that is mule deer territory
Looks like a good intro to a B horror movie.

Looks like a good way to get gored to death.
Or a mule white tail!
Now that his name and video are out on the net I expect him to be getting a visit from the CDW any day now..
They are Mule deer..
Feeding any wildlife is illegal in CO.
yip, illegal from all angels and they are Mule deer..that oughta get him a nice fine.
Ok, you're right. I watched it a second time and they're mule deer.
Guy must have a helluva "bucket" to feed alla those critters. Never ceases to amaze me what wild animals can learn.
Those are very clearly mule deer, and there are no whitetails in that area, yet.Quote:

I've been unsuccessfully searching for a Colorado Statute to support this.Quote:

Can anyone cite a statute prohibiting the feeding of big game on private property - not for hunting purposes?
