Corn Fed Venison
Now I know why the deer haven’t been ringing my doorbell and asking for handouts this year. They’ve found easier pickings thanks to a nearby farmer that didn’t harvest all his corn.
Can you find the deer in this photo? I did but I had the advantage of seeing some movement.
I’ll make it easier and zoom in. This is the same photo – only cropped and displayed without resizing the image smaller.
This time it should be easier. I did try to get closer and managed somewhat before my wildlife repellent gave me away. Following her nose the dog never did see the deer but they sure noticed her. There are two deer in the photo.
Same photo cropped for a better look at one of the deer. This photo is linked to one sized 1024 x 768 to use as desktop wallpaper.
One last look before turning tail. This image is also available to use as wallpaper
In all there were 4 deer in that spot. At the other end of the corn field I caught sight of a couple tails flashing as more deer bolted for the woods. I might leave Pookey behind tomorrow and see just how close I can get.

The farmer is “kind” enough and the deer will grow fatter at this winter.

Be careful.
The deer is looking at you and was about to run.
Are you allowed to catch anyone of them?

What a cute fella(-: The deer haven’t been over here this winter for a snack either. Guess they found something better somewhere too! Nothing but birds here!

Some areas here, they’ve become quite nonchalant. Oh, a human, they say, then back to grazing…

While squirrels and mallards are too short to reach my doorbell (and it doesn’t work, anyway) they do know on my doorwall!
(Seriously.)

Lousy, rotten deer! It looks like a convention center walkway between my house & my neighbor’s with all their tracks in the snow. They’ve started attacking things they’ve never tried before because I sprayed repellent on their usual treats. I need a Deerhound.

I love seeing the deer like this. They think they’re hidden, but they’re not at all. My deer repellent must be stronger than yours, because they seem to be avoiding me ever since it got cold.
