I'm hoping that Catman Outdoors hit 100k subscribers by the end of the season! This is the channel for the people and the info you put out here is priceless knowledge!
Even with all the agriculture fields in MN/WI, these deer up here love stinging nettles. You'd think it would sting their mouths. Lol

They eat the jeweleed right next to the nettles that puts the fire out. It's a natural antidote for nettles.

I always get into that nettle in the summer time along the river fishing. I smear river mud on it when I get stung by it.
Mississippi State University has "A Guide to Common Native Deer Forages" that also has a good list of preferred deer forage for the southeast.
I hunt public land river bottoms in NW MS. A plant that is absolutely crucial for deer - especially in late season - is the humble yet almighty "Dewberry," genus Rubus. This plant/vine is closely related to the blackberry and ripens in Spring a couple weeks before the blackberry. It can't support its weight, so it runs along the ground or climbs. Very often in many of the areas I hunt it's the ONLY green plant after November. Deer tear it up. You can watch the patches of dewberry get ever-smaller from early Dec through the end of deer season. These patches are the closest thing to a "food plot" you're gonna find on the public lands. Set up near the stuff a few hunts, be patient, and you WILL see deer coming in for a bite. Excellent video Catman. I find it fascinating how many of these staples for deer are "invasive." Make one wonder what they ate before Europeans brought all that stuff over!
Catman is money (knowledge). Learned much from this young man. 71 soon still feeding the skeeters and getting torn up by nettles. Scouting is my weak suit and this very helpful
Sir that was a fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Some of those plants are in Texas and I had no idea. 👍
Thanks Catman, I was scouting river bottom last weekend. Heavy browse on the stinging nettle even with bean fields a few hundred yards away.
Huge Thank You. Although I’ve seen deer browse on vegetation, I’m often just looking for oaks (bad habit). Oaks here do not produce acorns every year.
Thank God for notifications…. Been waiting for a new Catman video. Great as usual and I just learned a lot.
i never pass up vids like this...thanks, Catman
Man you keep producing content like this your fan base will grow quick
Winter creeper is a great attractant late season. Go into an area with some and strip the vines where they’ll hang down and you have an instant late season food plot!
I really liked this video. I'm no expert, but I would agree that if a deer is hungry enough they will eat anything green. I do agree that keeping this video limited to 8 plants makes sense because of that. That being said a second tier or plan B plants video would be cool or really a plant video in general would be cool because you really seem to know them. I wish I could identify plants well.
Them velvet bucks at the end 🔥🔥
Great video cat! Here in wi the deer hit the blackberry and raspberry bushes hard. And you will see an obvious browse line white cedars
If you add acorns and chestnuts, you could help a lot of hunters solve their October lull.
Get after it Catman!
The deer love stinging nettle in the river bottoms on North Dakota Deer candy of the North in Aug-September They eat the tops off it grows better than any food plot you can plant in early season Find were they are eating it and hang a trail camera and a deer stand it’s browsed on heavily in September here
Thanks brother!!
Here in North Carolina,,honeysuckle is a big indicator ,,the Virginia state line is as close as hedge apple gets to here , also grown over areas of kudzu is a great place to see deer before the first frost.
Looks like someone has been on public land in my area with a weed eater, going to be a good year, it’s from all the deer.
Im in Missouri ....Not sure if we have strawberry bush ,,,,if we do ive never seen it ,,,,,,,,,Thats a new one ive never heard of ,,,,,,,
Thanks for the information
Good luck this season! 🏹🦌
By far the best video I’ve ever seen!
Thank you! I created a youtube playlist "Deer Scouting Strategies", and this video will live there.
Thanks for this video. Great knowledge to have. I learned a lot today. I watched the video twice. And will refer to it the future. Thanks Catman.
Unbelievably good content here
Thanks Catman! Good stuff. The deer here in SC hammer that green briar down to sticks.
Great tips for the new season 🤘💯🇺🇸
Thanks Catman. Great info.
Thanks for the cool info Catman, can't wait to see what you put on the ground this year. I'm headed to Tennessee the week of Nov 6th for my first out of state hunt, hoping everything I've learned from the likes of THP, Infalt, you, my own experiences, etc etc will lead to success.
This is a great video! Lots of information and how to’s Love it and please keep them coming!
This information is spot on. I have experience with all of these plants except for osage orange, and completely agree with the information.
Excellent Catman. I love the info. Some of the plants aren’t found here in Maine but a few are. I just found a patch of Canadian nettles that’s getting mowed down by the deer browse.
Thanks for sharing your video's 👍
Great information! Enjoyed it and good luck this season
Wow, that was a great video. Thanks Catman! Looking forward to your videos again this year. Good hunting!
looks like you have great herds. beautiful deer
Love watching all your videos thank you for sharing them.
Always hyped for more catman videos!
Thank you, sir. I just downloaded this video to take in the field with me. It is easily the best I have seen on the topic.
Such great info. Thanks soo much.
Good luck to you to man.
Man, this is so helpful, thanks for making this video Catman!
Thanks for another great video, Catman.
Good video and good source of deer browse info. Deer are certainly browsers no matter what supplemental food is planted or poured into a trough. Deer are ruminants and make vegetation taste just like meat. I remember in the deer research pens at Auburn University, the particular research was to see which flavor of clover the deer liked best. I think the deer spent more time between each sample plot eating the "weeds". As mentioned, they will eat most any plant.....especially if fertilized. However, oxalis and yellow jasmine are two species of which I have never seen browsing evidence.
good, practical information
Great information!
Good info! Thanks!!
thanks for the education man.. very cool..
Good stuff as always Johnathon!
Insightful....thanks.
Thanks
Very good video!
THANKS FOR SHARING COOL STUFF ✌OUT LATER
Looks like you have some nice bucks to hunt this year.
I’m in Giles Co, and I have several of some variety of wild peach tree that has small golfball size peaches on them. The deer will eat everything they can eat off of these. It’s not unusual to see 2 and 3 at a time standing on their hind legs stretching as high as they can to get these peaches. Once they have cleared everything they can reach, they will spend hours laying under these trees waiting for the remainder of the peaches to fall. If we have a rain/wind storm, they immediately head to these trees to cash in on the fallen peaches. I have these in numerous spots along the edges of the woods. No clue what kind of peach tree they are, though.

You said they were wild peach trees. I’m just wondering if you are absolutely certain that they are peaches and not pears because there have been lots of wild pears growing in North America for hundreds of years. Wild pairs is what I have growing around me in the Ohio river valley
@python3574

Unless pears have a large pit inside of them, these are definitely some type of peach
Ive never seen strawberry bush before in Mississippi.
What about dogwood/ red osier? Ive got a lot of that in my area.
Catman, do you happen to have any specific vegetation besides acorns that I can look for here in Michigans lower peninsula? I have noticed they eat the wild onion and garlic tops but am struggling to find foods they favor other than what I have mentioned.

Look for anything green with the tops eaten off. If you notice the same type of plant always has the tops cut off, it’s probably one that they really like.
What about bush honeysuckle
Here in the coastal SC in the pines, we get thickets of sweetgum saplings. Do they eat it at all or is it a trash plant?

they will nibble at the new buds at the tips of the branches but that's about it
Catman - is this hunting knowledge or did you learn about these plants school?
