We have two Does that come in to visit... and for a snack. I sprinkle an ice cream bucket of corn on the ground every evening and they come to the house and tell me if I forget....The wild rabbits, squirrels and birds also get in on it.
One Doe has one fawn....she has delighted us with it's presence on one occasion and right now as I write, the other Doe just brought in her two fawns for the first time......
The deer population is way down from what it use to be in my immediate area... I use to have a good dozen coming in a day weather there was food or not and the fawns would all scamper and play in the yard..... it was exceptionally fun on rainy days...... they would run, chase and splash in the water puddles.......
I have become friends with many of them over the years... unfortunately our area is heavily hunted...... one year I had to laugh because my deer friends stayed on my property during the whole hunting season.... I couldn't feed them but they seemed to just know...... Someone got mad and reported us that we were feeding the deer and that we had shot one illegally.
We were checked out and of coarse they found nothing.......
The girls love to sit and watch all the critters too..... they really don't know they are critters themselves...... Not just in the windows but they will lay outside by the house and watch the rabbits scamper and play and the Does feed. Nobody feels threatened .......... my girls are amazing......
So I now get to the picture I took the other day.... I went out with my camera and asked this Doe if I could get a picture to share with you... so she stopped and posed for me...... : )
