Oh, my gosh. They must have been hungry. No wonder they get into trouble eating people's gardens, nibbling on trees, etc. And, meeting up with cars. Do they come to your house often? Do you feed them? What state do you live in? I would have never thought this would happen during daylight hours, but that is about the time they start coming out looking for food.

They come every day, sometimes more than once. We have two 4-gallon troughs that we fill several times a day with fresh water. We do feed them nutritional pellets, carrots, apples. NEVER CORN. We live in Texas in an area where they cannot be hunted.

Your love of animals comes through every time you post pictures of the deer! You allow them to be close by and are kind enough to feed them. You have earned their trust and realize they are gifts from nature. Bless you

I hope you're careful about ticks. My DH got Lyme disease 8 years ago and still hasn't fully recovered. It's aged him terribly and he's since become very obsessed about his health. It's changed his life and not in a good way.

He would go into the local state park to take our dog for a walk and worked on a scout project there with our son. The deer also come up into our yard and eat the flowers right up on the porch ...but only at night.

I think he got Lyme disease either from our yard or the park.

Illegal to feed deer in NYS and hunting is legal.

That thins the 'crops' out ..........

@haddon9. Sorry about your husband. I understand that indeed it is hard to recover from that. Our yard is treated every 2 months for ticks, scorpions, fleas, etc, which we were doing even before the deer started frequenting.

@MamaWick More wonderful pictures! Thank you for all you do for your deer.

Is that chair awaiting me? I'll even help with the "berry picking". Haha.
