This young deer has been wandering around our neighborhood lately
(lemmy.amyjnobody.com)
Young deer, tried stopping by my lilies for a snack! I took this picture through the window but accidentally left the flash on from the last pic taken... This is the moment the deer noticed me - it didn't bolt until I started opening the door! (and it didn't seem to get any of the lilies... this time)
Have you thought about putting up a feeder (if local regulations allow it)? They're beautiful creatures, had family in West Virginia, way up in the boonies, the fawns are extremely cute.
I think it's important to note this will up your backyard tick count exponentially
Forgot about the ticks hahaha, got them once or twice as a kid then decided to just preemptively use all the products when we would visit.
They had a huge plot of land though so I doubt they were worried about adding more ticks.
Yeah, and sadly with kids in the neighborhood, I'd hate to be responsible for a Lyme disease outbreak or something like that ๐
