Calm, Cool & Collected...until somebody Sneezes.

[jackflash]

Looks can be misleading like what you think you are seeing may be the biggest con show in history. All the actors are in place, relaxed, confident, the perfect 'Leave It To Beaver' family patio dinner scene...until 12:08 into the vid when the Beaver(Bambi) pulls a no-no! Notice how just after 12:08 the Black-Tailed doe on the far right reacts like she has taken a hard right to her left temple, front legs folding up as she begins her descent to the canvas(lawn). The doe third from the right is well into retreat & too frightened to raise her tail to warn the others of danger as she is already picking em up & putting em down in earnest! By 12:13 into the vid the rest of the startled herd is back to hitting the ole feedback. This couple already own the mind of the fawn(Bambi) & soon the rest of the minds of the herd will be owned by this couple as well. This herd will remain wild to all other people but domesticated to this couple until death. Some folks just have what it takes!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....................

I miss the deer. We had black tails in Washington and I saw one doe and then her fawns twice a day. Now I live in SD and I know we have plenty of deer -- road kill -- but I've only ever seen them alive a couple of times. I even leave the fallen pears on the ground and they get chewed, and I've seen track in the snow, but never seen a bambi in the yard. I live about a hundred yards from a field of corn and you'd think you'd see them gleaning. Nope.

That lil' sucker needs to be slow cooked and put over mashed potatoes.

South Dakota like what got you over there??? R U in or around the badlands area? I'd think that SD area would be home to the big Mulies(Mule deer)? I so well understand about missing the deer ESPCIALLY those drop dead gorgeous Black-Tailed deer. I have a herd of White-Tailed deer on my acreage that I bait with both fruit & vegetables plus MOBC(molasses, oats, barley, corn). I can get them up to the carport/shop structure but the does refuse to let me close in on their fawns, & their fawns is what I want to play with. This is going to take time. I found a couple vids that may give you a chuckle!

These fawns seem just as human(spoiled rotten) as we are, like logger + fawn = PRICELESS!!!



Piebald fawn(face looks Black-Tailed), again beyond priceless!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Wonderful videos! They both made my dog cry!

I live in the southeast corner of SD, near Sioux Falls. I haven't been close enough to any living deer to be able to tell what species they are, nor have I had a chance to talk to any hunters about it.

Whatever they are, there must be plenty of them because I am always seeing new road kill. It disturbed me at first to see that wildlife leaves road kill by the side of the road here -- in the part of Montana where I lived where folks hit a lot of elk, the animal is always picked up and taken to a meat processor to grind and package for food banks. But then I realized that everything that dies on the road here is food for other critters which, in my neighborhood is coyote and raptors and vultures.. Everybody has to eat.

Hubby and I contemplated moving to Ocean Shores WA some years ago, which is home to a prodigious population of black tails! We once drove around the town scoping out real estate, and must have seen 40 or 50 deer in about a two hour period.

Great vid on those magnificent Black-Tailed deer! I have stood countless number of times & looked into those sweet eyes as seen in the close up shots in the vid you included. I really do not know if there is a difference between the Columbian Black-Tailed deer vs other Black-Tailed deer but if one takes notice almost all the semi domesticated/domesticated pet deer as seen on YouTube come equipped with a black tail & Mule deer shaped BIG ears. It makes sense though as the Black-Tailed deer are a sub species of Mule deer. Road kill is heavy in my area also due to a proliferation of White-Tailed deer & of course coyotes as well. The does make a really effective escort for their newborn baboos as can be seen below with a Mule doe(black TIPPED tail);



The does are pretty effective with those hooves also when they want to exert their pecking order as seen below;



I learned something new about doe deer from watching YouTube, like they are protective over human baboos not just their own;
