Richard McMahon has been feeding deer for over 20 years during the winter season starting in Medford, Maine. When he moved to Brownville, he continued his efforts to help sustain the deer herd through the winter when it became more difficult for them to find food. That's when he created a non-profit organization called Brownville's Food Pantry For Deer.

Each day, Richard feeds around 700 pounds of oats to 150-200 deer along with apples, feed blocks, and acorns that he collects from trees nearby.

All that deer food is hauled out to troughs with what Richard calls "The Oatmoblie." During the winter season, these feedings are broadcast live on Brownville, Maine's Food Pantry's YouTube channel, 24 hours a day.

Six Live Cameras

Six cameras stream live from different angles, allowing viewers to watch anytime, even after dark, thanks to the night vision-equipped cameras. You won't see just deer, either. Plenty of squirrels and birds stop by as well, and with the trough cam, you get a very up-close view of them. Above is a clip featuring Vincent and Big G, two bucks that have been named by Richard.

How You Can Help Feed the Deer

All those oats will cost The Brownville Food Pantry for Deer upwards of $10,000. Since it is a non-profit, it raises money through donations to a GoFundMe with a goal of $15,000. So, if you enjoy watching the live cams, take a moment to donate whatever you can.

You watch the deer 24-7 on the Brownfield Foor Pantry For Deer YouTube channel.
