Whitetail prefer forbs (which are commonly referred to as weeds) and browse (commonly referred to as brush). The types of forbs are quite diverse, but good forb plants for deer are spiderwort, clover, and Engelmann daisy. Browse plants vary by region, but deer will use leaves of hackberry, elm, and grape. They also eat the mast (fruits) of many plants when in season. MM-
