RE: Just Your Garden Variety Deer, In The Garden
Amazing you have them in the city. Wonder why. People are feeding them or?/i see them frequently cross the road in front of my car and heard the young born cry. Could only once find one. They won't come closer and apparently feel save enough at the other side of my fence
Thanks for sharing 💕

Hi there :-) I think there is plenty of food for them - they love flowers and whatever else people have growing in their gardens. Another point is they have no natural predators aside from cars! Now and then a cougar will come down from the hills but that is very rare... so the deer population just continues to grow!
@keithboone They eat flowers? That is interesting I never knew that. Thanks for sharing this info with me.
It must be nice to have them around it adds something extra. The dogs do not chase after them? No farmer complaining?
Happy Friday ❤️
I don't know about farmers, I live in the city. I'm sure dogs would chase them but most dogs seem to be on a leash, and yes, they LOVE flowers. People build tall fences to keep them out but you would be amazed how high they can jump! I walked around the block this morning and saw two deer. They were in someone's yard and I walked slowly up to the fence and the mom stuck her head over the fence towards me almost like she wanted to be petted. If I had moved quickly they would have run away.
@keithboone What a great experience that must have been. So you can really see them everywhere and at daytime.
I only see them cross the road at certain times a "day". Now I think they will form groups again. I never saw any in a garden. They are not as big here. I think the hunters are shooting at them too. I do not know if that is allowed at all.
Happy Saturday and thanks for sharing this story. Have a !BEER, cheers! ❤️
Command accepted!
Thank you again! I saw a nice buck later in the day. We were driving down a residential street and saw him calmly eating grass right beside the road. No picture this time. The males are more elusive and are not usually seen with the females or the young ones.
