@MamaWick Of course you do! Who wouldn't want to come for a visit! Me first, with my 🙋‍♀️ hand up.

@MamaWick

Oh how I wish I lived next door to you. I've not heard of Billy Goat Deer, what is the difference from the regular deer?

I look forward to your pictures. The deer above looks happy, like he lives in a place where he is safe.

I always wonder what state you live in ....In my mind, I imagine....montana.....

Even if that is totally wrong, I know one thing with confidence....it is a lovely place.

This is like living in a wild life santuary! Are you able to actually go outside and co-exist

with the animals or do they scatter when you come out?

Some answers...

The "Billy goat deer" was my joke because they were climbing a hill and standing on top.

I live in Texas.

No, they don't scatter when we go outside. In fact, they will trot over to our place at the sound of my voice.

Hi @MamaWick ,

Great pictures. Been following your story just not posting. The pix you have here are a lot like the visitors we have on a regular basis.

Ours however are mostly nocturnal and getting pictures would be next to impossible. Just recently, we too have a Fox visiting. My wife is gone Pet Sitting and she always has her camera in her hand(danged cell phone), don't tell her I said that.😉

She usually takes care of the feeding of the "critters", but I handle this when she is off on her jobs. I'm a bit more frugal than she is with portion sizes. At times she does ask me to do it when she is home, I think because she can't help herself with plate sizes for our visitors.

Hope you and PapaWick are doing well, we are fine. Give a hello to W from me. Take care now,

JOhn(hckynut) 🏒

I love that you were able to get a picture of him too!

we had three deer in our backyard yesterday and they were having a real smorgasbord on our plants. I know some people would do something to get rid of them to protect their plants but I like animals more than plants and they have to eat.

@MamaWick - Ah, the word is out - your yard is the place to be and be safe. Love the pics. What kind of hummingbird do you have?

When I lived in NJ, we had bear, deer & babies, fox, woodchuck and many different birds of prey, ruby throat hummers.

Now, I live in the South and we have ruby throat hummers, fox that drinks out of our fountain, alligators (not in my yard), anole lizards, rabbits & babies and many species of snakes. I don't mind everything but could do without the snakes, lol.

@Luvtuna The deer eat our hostas. I use Deer be Gone. They don't like the smell and leave them alone. They still nibble on some tree leaves.

@riley1 I have no clue other than the 3 that frequent are green in color.
