The Return on my Winter "Friends"

[project240]

Last winter I posted some pictures of some deer that live in and around our yard. Over the summer they disappeared, but they're back tonight (well one at least).

I was outside cleaning up a couple things and heard a rumble in the trees. Looked around and saw this guy 15 ft away. Ran inside and grabbed my camera and a snack for him.

I didn't zoom in at all on any of these pictures...

I know I shouldn't, but this was me feeding him raisin bread... he ate right out of my hand.

Anyways, just thought I'd share. Enjoy!

I was actually outside taking the pictures... no trail cam here. You can actually see my hand in the bottom left of the 4th pic.

Where is the snow?

We got our first small dump 2-3 days later... only a couple of inches. It's coming.

Great pics. I can't believe he got that close to you. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

The deer around here are incredibly tame. I have a pic from last winter where I was out in the yard surrounded by 7 or 8 deer.

Cool. Very cool. Careful now, wild animal. Never know what they are going to do............. ;-) In a split second you could have one of those antlers using the twins as a testing ground. :grrr: Sorry, just sayin.
