I went out to do the AM feed earlier this week and saw a young buck deer at our salt block. He was very cute, had little antlers. I told him I was going to the barn and not towards him, and he watched me for a few steps, but when I turned back again, he decided that was a bit too cagey for him, so he bolted. It’s nice seeing them in the yard, though I suspect I won’t think it quite so nice when we’ve got a vegetable garden going!
Just yesterday I saw a bachelor herd in the field across the street. There were only about 4-5. They were hanging out, watching me. Pearl and Bubba were with me, too, out for a walk to the mailbox, and the cats were quite interested in the deer even though they were a good ways away.
