Hi, MM ...

We have both mule deer and black tailed deer in Trinity County. I have seen both species in town.

From Wikipedia:

"Deer are browsers. During the winter and early spring, they feed on Douglas-fir, western red cedar, red huckleberry, salal, deer fern, and lichens growing on trees. Late spring to fall, they consume grasses, blackberries, apples, fireweed, pearly everlasting, forbs, salmonberry, salal, and maple. "

Of course, town deer have an extended diet ... Smiling
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
