Funny and a surprise

#1 Post by Graps »

Earlier today I was watching some deer out the back of the house.
My wife desided to take the dogs out so I watched to see how the four deer would react.
They watched as she went outside with the dogs and the deer just stood still and watched.
They were about 30 yards from the dog pen and after about a minute, they continued coming up to the house.
They walked past my wife and dogs about 15 yards and didn't even seem nervous.
It doesn't work that way with me and deer season is open.

Now just this evening I saw the buck with the lopsided antlers.
The surprise is he still has the antlers.
Three other bucks he was with didn't have there antlers but I could see where they were shed.
This is the deer I saw.

Funny how they know when they are safe or not.

You’ll have to have your wife walk the dogs around your blind next season so the deer know it’s safe

My cat liked to be with them till Mamma kicked him in the head. Now he keeps his distance. Both looking at the bunny.

Graps, does that lopsided deer have an injured leg?

Leaving the house today I noticed a deer bedded down about 50 yards from the house.
It lifted its head to watch us walk to the truck and it was still there when we drove off.
