Bambi in the back yard

This critter seemed pretty much unafraid of people. Actually, it was staring at Connie and myself like it had never seen a human being before and was puzzled by us. I believe the drought around here has driven it to look for water, as it tried to get to the pool, but the screen enclosure blocked it. I was afraid it might try to push on through or kick at the screen. It circled the pool a couple of times and then settled in to munch on some greenery.

I walked outside the side porch a couple of times and the deer still didn't get spooked off. Seemed to be looking at me like "What the heck is THAT!"

As you can see, the deer was VERY close by.

We felt bad that it was apparently thirsty, so I went out the front door and turned on the sprinkler system nearby, but of course the noise scared it away when the sprinkler heads started shooting out water.



Of course, this is all going to seem pretty cool until we find plants in our gardens chewed down to nubs.....

Thats very cool!

Great video, white tailed deer never cease to amaze me on how adaptable they are and how they will use our world to benefit themselves. When I lived in Pa. there were many large subdivisions like one called Fox Chapel that were over run with them. The people would put the orange construction fence around their plants and shrubs to try to keep them at bay. And some of the largest bucks I saw up there were near bigger cities and towns. Thanks again for sharing a great video.

That is awesome. So cute.
