Lyn, if there is a drought the deer are hungry. You might consider providing them some of their preferred plants they can eat so they can stay healthy. Don't know what is available in your area, but in Savannah I go to the hunting store where they sell bags of seed mixtures for deer plots. Or you could purchase packages/bulk amounts of individual types of seed that will help to feed the deer. This link talks about some of the foods that deer would prefer to be eating if available.

Sorry, I apologize that this is a loooong way from squirrels imitating Esther Williams doing the backstroke.
