[mike_belben]

Im jealous.  Nice shots.  

[Crusarius]

I always joke that all my neighors are cute, fuzzy, and taste good  some ppl laugh some give me an evil death stare

I think I am what you call, an acquired taste?

[Peter Drouin]

This guy is big.

Something got after my suet feeder the other night. I doubt a bear. They was not smashed or broke. Maybe a coon? They was both on the ground,but not damaged at all. I brought them in for a couple nights.

[Dakota]

Ya, you probably better have something bigger than a fly swatter to chase him off!

[WV Sawmiller]

   Yeah but why put out treats to draw them in then chase them off? I bet whatever it was he was just doing what the was raised to do.

[Peter Drouin]

In all the years they come and go never had a problem. He comes every 5th day or so. He is big, Maybe 225 / 250 lb


 
The feeders are about 5' off the ground, He sitting down in the pix.

Them big ones will pull down the feeders and smash them up real good here. We watched one like yours,not as big,be real easy with the feeders. Than one bat with the paw and the feeder was swinging and not really looking like a feeder any more. :D  Than the platform feeder was bent at a odd angle too.  Guess I have to up my building standards for thier weight limit. So far no problems with the big critters.

[Ron Scott]

Caught in the act!

[Peter Drouin]

New pups, In my log pile.    :D I was going after the game camera,  And there they where. Had my reg camera with me to see if I can get the deer.
 


 


 


 

I had I doe with twin fawns walk by the mill today too. Got to get a pix of them.

[WV Sawmiller]

And this guy, I'm not sure what I will do with him, If he behaves it will be ok. ;D

I want you guys to zoom on this deer, What's on the coat? Are all the bumps ticks??


 

[thecfarm]

Nice pictures. I have never seen a pup fox in the woods. Seem them young wood chucks a few times. ;) Got at least one in the stone wall here. Wife's dog has been watching.

[Peter Drouin]

This morning,



There was 3 yesterday, one didn't look too good. But maybe it's around.

[Dave Shepard]

I've got a couple of fat woodchucks at the mill, too. One of them is trying for fattest woodchuck of the year.  :D They'll be ok, as long as they don't dig under any buildings. 

[WV Sawmiller]

Peter,

   I can't tell but could it be bot flies/warbles on the deer? We used to get them on cows and sometimes a rabbit or squirrel would get them and I don't see why deer would not get them. I don't know any way to check it unless you shoot or catch it. If it is warbles they will hatch and likely have no permanent effect. 

[Runningalucas]

Those are some cute foxes!

[Peter Drouin]

I don't think we have flys like that here.

   This old doe and her yearling from last year are making regular visits in and around our place. Yesterday they were in the creek bed in front of the house then crossed the road and under my neighbor's fence at a crossing where my gas line comes under. (That crossing cost me a new hot water heater a few years ago. Our water heater would quit so we bought a new one and had same results. Found out a bear had crossed and stepped on the ball valve under the fence and shut it about half closed reducing the gas flow. I reopened and taped it in the open position and no further problems.)

  This morning the old doe here was about 30 yards from our house by our pasture gate. She came back this afternoon. Her yearling crossed about an hour later. Normally they are together but separated a little today. 

    I need to check - the old doe may have this years fawn up on a ride in the pasture where they like to stage them. Most years I take the grandkids up and find them with them. I love watching them lay so still and often we nearly step on one before we spot him. We get pictures and leave them there and watch them grow all summer.


 

[WV Sawmiller]

    Deer are around my gate and in my yard several times a day now. I dragged a good sized ash log down yesterday and spotted a doe with 2 fawns. Herded them all over the place hoping they would stop for pictures. Two pretty fawns.

  Got up this morning with 2 does and 3 spotted fawns between my yard and pasture fence in a marshy area with a couple of willow trees. Told my wife and she got a bunch of pictures. The fawns are really neat to watch.


 

 This is my favorite - looks like he is on point. The tree length log is one I tried dragging yesterday and it got away and rolled to the fence. I need to buck it and drag out in 2-3 logs. At least the bark all slipped off.
