This little fellow - I think it's a "he" because of the bumps on his head, indicating horns, but I can't be certain - came visiting yesterday. I think it is the same young deer I've been seeing for several months.
I spied him first from the window in the room I use for my office. I grabbed the camera and followed him to the other side of the house. The above picture was taken through the garage window.
He was in the front door.
I slipped out the garage door at the rear and moved cautiously to the front of the house. I expected to scare him and not get a shot.
Instead, I slipped around the corner and he posed:
I am a little concerned because this deer is much too socialized. He never ran from me, and I think if I'd had an apple he'd have let me pet him. We do not try to make pets of the deer. This one certainly seems to feel at home.
Wow, I'll say! I know our deer have gotten used to our dog Shaynee to the point where they just stand and look at her ranting at them. Hope your little fella makes it through hunting season.
ReplyDeleteThese shots are amazing! Our deer are pretty tame, but I've never been able to get close enough to get a decent photo. Very nice.
