Wildlife

Beautiful animal, but ehhh you can keep him. On Long Island, there's an overpopulation and the whole herd will ravage the garden in about 5 minutes leaving nothing behind. They'll even strip the bark from the trees. They don't care who sees them.

Lovely creature and obviously they are hungry, especially when it's cold and they are trying to keep warm poor things. Remember we've taken over their land space with our homes Paul.

Beautiful pic, Klahanie. I do hope the little fellow managed to get something to eat...looks like he's having some greenery or berries?
A very festive looking photo. Thanks for sharing

Lovely to see Klahanie. One came into our garden when we were in Sooke, on your island … with her young. We felt quite honoured 🙂.

Poor Bambies :( I hope they can find enough to eat.

Long Island still has many large swaths of undeveloped land which are protected and all those lovely gardens. The deer have an abundance to eat & they are protected by law with no natural predators to keep them in check. You can't touch them even when they invade your property and decimate your vegetable garden. You'll have to install a big fence all the way around, but no traps or poison.

Beautiful photo Klahanie, I hope he can find food which doesn't include your plants!

I love to see them out in the boonies. They are very graceful and the buck is stunning with his full rack of antlers - and pulling Santa's sleigh full of toys for all the good little girls and boys. That's where I like to see them, but my tiny garden isn't nearly big enough.

A beautiful picture. Pidgeons are bad enough here so I cant imagine the damage they can do to gsrden plants.
