oh deer... oh deer...

"yes... we'll respond if you call us baby...

we're actually growing rather fond of you following us around - getting used to you... that you like to talk to us...

here's the low down since you last saw us:

- the littlest ones have left the roost... are on their own now

- mating season will soon begin... so you might hear the clacking of our antlers together - i know, mine have gotten broken... i'm not sure how - they cracked one day and look what happened... this is really going to impact my ability with that cutie pie mabel - you saw her last week...

- we're trying to bulk up for winter before all the foliage is gone... that's what clark is doing back there - greedy guy that he is - well, he's also really shy so if you try to get around him with that box of yours, he's just gonna scamper off... i'm just sayin'...

so that's about it... uh-oh - cars keep flyin' by, so we're outta here - nothing against you... more a trust issue with them... "


a constant joy to interact with wildlife... a treat to see 2 young bucks together...

such a

happy day.....
