Brownville Deer Pantry is a community-run wildlife feeding project located in Brownville, Maine, created to help wild white-tailed deer survive the long and severe winter season. Each year, usually from mid-December through early spring, large quantities of grain, apples, and specially prepared feed are placed out daily when natural food sources are buried under snow. Dozens of deer regularly gather at the pantry, along with turkeys, squirrels, and other forest animals, creating a rare opportunity to observe wildlife up close. The project is privately operated and supported entirely by donations from people who value wildlife care and conservation.
The webcams offer a unique and intimate look at wild white-tailed deer that visit the pantry annually from all over Central Maine. These deer rely on the supplemental feeding program, which starts every year on December 16th and continues until the natural browse becomes plentiful again at the end of winter, helping them survive the harsh Maine winters. One of the webcams provides a close-up view of the deer at the trough, allowing animal lovers to watch them eating, interacting, and moving naturally in great detail. Another webcam is positioned farther back, showing the wooden feeding structure from a distance, so viewers can see how many deer gather at once while enjoying the scenic backdrop of Maine’s trees and winter landscape. Together, these live streams give a comprehensive experience of the pantry, blending wildlife observation with the beauty of the natural environment, making it a calming and fascinating sight for viewers worldwide.
