Thanksgiving guests

When this one presented himself front and center, I tossed the rest of the carrots, snapped a picture, and went inside.

Beside being beautiful to look at they are very respectful of the social distancing safety suggestion.

He has that "I mean business" look about him.

I think they are waiting to be invited to the table. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Papa and all your guests.

@MamaWick. I'm not sure that other posters understand that bucks can be very dangerous and are not to be trusted at this time of year. They are wild animals in the truest sense. They don't "get" why you'd toss the carrots and go ibside.

@Kachina624 protecting his crew. I look at some of the videos of people getting too close to wildlife and just shake my head.

Many years ago when we were skiing we came around a corner and there was a herd crossing the trail...the only trail. What to do but just stand there and wait for them to go by, and hope one of them doesn't decide to come after you because there's nowhere to go especially with those sticks on your feet?

@Icegoddess. One of the dangers of being an Icegoddess.

My parents were camping at an RV park at Yellowstone. There was a huge bull Buffalo grazing in the park. The mom of a 5 year old tried her best to get the child to pet it so she could take a picture. Child had better sense. Mom gave the woman a tongue lashing she wouldn't soon forget.

They are precious, so beautiful.

I was wondering, @MamaWick, do you ever find antlers when the deer shed? After living here for 24 years and seeing many bucks, and never an antler one, we got new neighbors and their dog thinks he is mine. He brought us two antlers last year.

@MamaWick I love your deer photos!
I saw the doe with the injured leg briefly as she was going into my bamboo. The twins and a younger baby were with her. There are a lot of acorns and tree beech nuts now.
One of the twins from early Spring is so frisky, it runs so fast and was jumping in the leaves. At least the mother didn't seem to be limping as bad now. These three baby's are a lot to take care of!

@MamaWick -

Wow! He is something!

What a wonderful gathering of Thanksgiving guests!

Wow, the whole clan arrived for carrots.

With the look on that buck's face, I would not only have tossed the carrots but probably spilled my cookies, too. Such a steel gaze he had.

@MamaWick ...They're no fools, they made up their minds they weren't going to miss out on Thanksgiving dinner.

No you wouldn't, they do their business constanrly, and you can see the grass is in poor shape. I have them, but don't ever feed them. against the law here to feed wild animals.They are beautiful, but dangerous too.

It's November and our St Augustine grass is going dormant.

You sure got their attention with the carrots. You are a very kind person. My sister used to leave apples out at a certain time each day and they would show up until the neighbors got after her. I can see you don't have that problem. You have lots of land and she was in a suburb.
