They will be getting fatter over the next 3 weeks of eating the wild apples....this one here has befriended me....she doesn't even run away when I go outside now....makes for great picture taking.That one looks about ready for the grill. Seriously though, they are all over out here, where are ya? As a motorcyclists I consider them Kamakazi pilots.
We don't really have an over abundance of deer in Maine and we don't have deer farms that rear them, then release them.... no huge deer problems on the roads near us, if we see them, we can stop....most of the time due to no one on the road...if more than one car at a time is on the roads around us, we complain about traffic!Very nice photos Care4all. Thanks for posting them.
I really love seeing them and we put out goodies to lure them away from the hunting area. Two hears running, we had twin fawns born right outside our kitchen window.
But, its true that wildlife "management" has turned them into vermin in some places. They went from near-extinction to being very real problems for drivers. Its no help that we now breed more on deer farms, to be released at the beginning of hunting season. Its ridiculous but hunting want more for target practice.
No. On the face of it, I'm not opposed to hunting.

Can I feed her over the winter? What do deer eat...that's not too costly?
My neighbor who owns the 125 acres across the way...used to mow the meadow with a tractor and gather it to a spot by the edge of the woods for them to feed on in the winter...but he's in his 80s now and has stopped mowing the meadow....
I haven't fed them yet.....these are wild apple trees that they eat from, I didn;t even plant them! lolY'all need to quit feeding those guys, they are bordering on being pudgy. No deer farms here either, they come out of the woodwork, literally. They drive my dogs crazy when they walk by the house and poop in the yard. That's cool but they are unpredictable on the road, already center punch one on the bike. I had to dispatch one that got nailed by a car in front of my house, called the wolf haven place and the carcass was gone pretty quick. They're cute but I wish there were less of them.

Those deer are not starving, they're normal. That's what it's like in the wild, lean and mean. That first one is getting pudgy and will need a scooter soon if people keep feeding her.

They do sell deer food in bags at some pet shops. The cost is between 25 - 50 dollars. That I think can be expensive unless you are a rich woman. Especially, because a deer is a big animal. Deer like eating grass, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables and pretty much anything which is not meat. So if you let your lawn grow, that may draw deer in.
Keep that deer safe. I am getting attached to that deer
wonder why the one deer is almost black in color verses the camel color? I met a long distance neighbor a while back, on the paved road that goes through our woods, when taking my walk, that told me that the darker color deer are ones reared only in the Woods and the lighter color deer live near meadows out in the open....
I didn't know whether to believe her or not???

Don't believe it. It's genetics.
On a related note, I heard you can get a couple of McNuggets under a buck.Thats why you buy deer corn at the feed store or outdoor store.
You use to be able to get it for 2 bucks in a 40 or 50 lb bag.
Now with all the green energy crap it'll run you anywhere from 6 to 10 bucks a bag.
