I never realized beaver dams have a role in a deer’s feeding pattern. Setting camera traps on beaver dams the last several years has shown that deer constantly visit dams to feed. It appears they feed on lily stems. One day last week while checking camera traps I saw a very large buck out on a beaver dam midmorning, pulling vegetation from beneath the water’s surface. The doe above is a snag from a video. There is not a week that goes by that several deer aren’t on this dam feeding.
