Classic deer damage at my own home!



So why do people want to reduce deer populations? I said REDUCE, not eliminate. We love seeing them in our backyards, I mean look at that face! That's a female fawn that sleeps in the backyard, by the way.




Well this is definitely undesirable. But a VERY common sight here. I haven't seen a single house that doesn't have this damage, called "browse lines"
I mean, imagine a beautiful garden you have or a nicely kept hedgerow.... that turns like this once the snow falls. Even I was disappointed!



My footprints. Their footprints. And a pile of poop.

Deer adventures



The deer look particularly cute in the wintertime. From looking like orange kangaroos in the summer, they look like little fluffy huggable cuties now!




One of our tagged ones I tracked this morning.



More tagged deer!
