Re: Yes, I do and yes, they will

Deer are wild animals & when they lose their fear of man they are in harms way.

Yes, I love to see these deer.  They are so peaceful to watch.  Every once in a while we see about 5 or 6 in our back yard.

 

I'm happy they gave you @suzyQ3 some comfort in the loss of your friend.  My deepest sympathy.

@suzyQ3 -

I am so sorry. That must be so sad and still feel so unreal.

I'm glad the deer came to help you todayHeart

I am sorry, I have to speak up. Feeding this deer is not loving him/her. This animal will lose his/her fear of people and will be an easy target for hunters. This really upsets me.

I have to gree with @conlt   I have many deer in my yard also and they are not afraid of me.  BUT, I never try to feed them by hand as I was always told if they get used to humans they will walk up to a hunter and get shot.  I love my deer and want them around forever.  I just hope yours are protected in some way from the hunters.

Yes, I do feed them (apples, carrots, deer protein pellets but absolutely not corn).  Yes, they will take food out of my hand.  No lectures, please.
