              They eat almost constantly. Two major and two minor feeding periods. I have a mature 8 right now that hits my corn pile no less than 20 times in a 25 hour period. Eats a few minutes at a time.

                Didn't guess cause I have no idea! But found the video very interesting.
                We don't have any food plots, cause we don't have the equipment to put them in.

                Wish we did!

                  I know watching deer mainly in east Texas they eat something non stop. Leave here, acorn there, berry another place and so on. I've seen them lay down for 30 minutes or so, then up and browsing again.

                      I’m gonna say 6

                      FYI - Whitetails require an estimated 6 to 8 percent of their body weight in green foliage and browse daily to thrive. For a 150-lb. deer, that’s 9 to 12 pounds.

                        All day, every day. They are ruminant animals. They basically eat and screw. Thats all.

                            This ^^^ is my opinion as well. I see them constantly browsing as they walk around
