Ambling down to the trailcam Jan. 1st (which didn't have any critters on it!), I looked up and here were You Two. Well, the young male was closest to me. He sort of startled me!
I explained that I'd go down to the trailcam, come back up and give him a handful of food. JB beat me to it, though. They were watching him.
You can see her eyeballs beside our sign. They fret over the cats, but not the bunnies! Nutmeg and the doe from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
I was delayed this morning. It's a tad chilly putting out the garbage this morning. I felt sorry for the deer, as they followed me to the garage. You Two did, at least, the others hightailed it down to the meadow.
We ended up with 9 friends. They all get a mouthful of MNR-recipe deer food.
...we had two in the yard yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMighty cold to be out there, all the animals seems to be happy together, and feed for the deer, maybe you need to get " Farm Discount" at the store!!!I heard of a friend, further north from us, he found the mother dead, and the baby fallow deer alive, maybe 2 weeks old,. It is now happily in their back yard on the farm during the day, sleeping in the garden, 4 bottle feeds daily, and in the big backdoor hallway at night!!!So Jenn, think on this if it ever happens to one of the animals near you!!!
ReplyDeleteWith those temps they must have been very happy to see you!
ReplyDeleteWe have mostly mule deer with huge ears. It's different to see the white tails with small ears.
ReplyDeleteNutmeg stalking the deer is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteTwo two much fun. 😀
ReplyDeleteHow Cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, I love that you see so many deer!
ReplyDeleteI love that they know and trust you. That's incredibly beautiful and an honor.
