Deer in the yard!!!!


Gator

Recommended Posts

Sat afternoon around 2ish, I happened to look out my window, and lo and behold there were 2 does on the other side of my pond. This is the first time since moving out there 3yrs ago that I have seen any over theer. Then on Sunday I looked out, there was a doe drinking outta the pond. Guess that may be the only water close by. grin.gifgrin.gif

I never thought I would see any deer during day time since my dog is always outside, and will chase anything off he sees. Got quite a few pics, will post them when I get them downloaded. Guess I will put out a mineral block, and maybe some corn, see if I can keep them around.

Re: Deer in the yard!!!!

Gator, is your dog tied to a tree or a line or anything? Usually if the dog is tied up and can only run so far, the deer aren't as scared of it. The deer at our buddies farm have learned to use the dogs that are tied up as an alarm system. If those dogs howl, the deer are gone. The dogs he has are beagles. Also, we have witnessed the deer walking past the dogs at the end of their rope.. Quite funny watching a beagle jump.... lol
