Today I fed a buck out of my hand

[hzl eyed grl]

Please keep in mind that I've been in a fibro flare-up for about 10 days. Pay no attention to my hair or clothes. I know I look like sh!t. The focus should be the adorable deer.

This was taken the other night. We went to Tim's parents' house to visit his aunt that was in town. As you can see...I wasn't feeling well.
My big ole noggin.

Here's a small vid clip with no sound taken today with my digicam.

We're about an hour West of DC in a small town.

Defensive driving can help you save some bucks

• Last year, Ohio recorded 29,874 deer-motor vehicle accidents, based upon figures supplied by the Ohio Highway Patrol.

We're overrun with these animals, and it's the devil trying to get the hunting season extended. Would you approve a longer bow season?

 

[moshquerade]

what did you feed it?

Front Royal. Do you know the area here?

Ornery - I dunno. I just think they're cute and it's illegal to hunt in our subdivision anyway.

EDIT:

mosh - Deer corn.

somewhat, i got a bunch of friends that live down in that area, been there a few times, almost assassinated a few deer with my car as well

 

[Ornery]

We've got a lady around this neighborhood, who actually puts out garbage for the skunks. OMG! I shot six of 'em a couple years ago, though that's illegal, and they're still all over the place! Wildlife is swell, so long as there's checks & balances.

I was driving home one night and stopped to let deer cross and then one decided to run back just as I was passing and SHE hit ME! Dorky thing!

Ornery - I do know what you mean. I just really love them. lol I don't leave any other kind of food out, we'd attract bears otherwise. We do have a birdfeeder hanging from our upper outside deck, but you can't access the deck from the ground.

 

[SilverThief]

Beautiful. Wish I lived alone in the woods.
sans the wife......and probably one of the kids.

 

[0roo0roo]

just stay away from the male deer. they can go apesh*t.

 

[mercanucaribe]

i was just at front royal last week. its the northern tip of shenandoah valley. it was really nice weather last saturday.

 

[jadinolf]

Great thread, HEG.

Thanks a bunch.

 

[Elderly Newt]

feeding deer = bad. they come to expect food from you and will eventually become a nuisance and then aggressive. i was at a campground years ago, and people had been feeding a deer. she would stand at the edge of the woods and look into people's campsites. my dad went to the car (which was parked in a parking lot a short distance away) and she followed him closely. this is, of course, not natural behavior for a wild animal. they might seem cute at first, but they can become a problem if they receive regular feedings from people.

Funny, I only see deer in this pic.

And this one

In the others, I'm in them because my fiance decided to take pictures of me feeding the deer.

cerebus - Yeah, it was nice. Rained today, though.

Thanks, jadinolf. Long time no see. How ya been?

elderly - I was careful. There were a couple of the older females that were territorial and didn't want the buck and another female there. I do know that they're never truly tame.

 

[Poohbee]

Now you're full of deer ticks.

 

[bigrash]

that's so cool!

 

[Vonkhan]

those stupid deer have no natural predators in the US?

 

[JME Fidelity]

OMG SHOPPED!

THE DEER IS OBVIOUSLY CG.

 

[crab]

I slid sideways in the rain two weeks ago through a pack of maybe five of them. Managed to miss them all. Scared me to death.

Coyotes and mountain lions, I'd guess.

And cars, now.
