About the Book
The Hungry Deer is a photo description of a deer near a cabin in the North Carolina mountains. The deer was frequently feeding on shelled corn very near a cabin during both daytime and evening. Deer usually stay in wooded area during the day and venture out to find food in late afternoon or early morning. The deer made multiple visits to the corn placed on a large rock very near the cabin. The visits were so frequent that we wondered why. Finally, the mystery was solved after a few days.
