@MamaWick As always, it's wonderful to see your pics, especially Cricket.
I too thought the deer looked rather thin. Maybe all the building is demolishing their food sources. I've seen deer feed advertized, but you probably don't want to encourage them. Additionally with so many in the herd it would be expensive. Hope they fatten up before the winter.

I'm sure by now that you are very good at what to feed deer.
I hadn't noticed how thin until I looked again. There is that disease-wasting disease.
I was amazed at how many articles on what to fee deer, especially what to feed them at each season.
Some looked so complicated, saying they needed different food in fall and winter, than in spring and summer.
And they all acknowledged that it ca get expensive.
I liked this one that was fairly simple.

The does look about right to me for this time of year. They're wild animals and won't look like grain fed captive animals. They stay relatively thin even when healthy. It's hot and their fawns are growing which always starts to drain any nursing mother. None look thin to the point of ill health. They also look like young females, who normally are thinner than older does.

@MamaWick Years ago I lived in these apartments outside of town. Actually the land use to be farm land until it was sold and apartments and houses where built on it. Across from the parking lot was still an empty field where early in the morning you could see a herd of deer grazing. I use to love watching them. It was alovely site.
