Help with yard waste

Post by **redzed** » Mon Jun 09, 2014 02:54

This handsome fella has been hanging around my front yard for the past few weeks. You have to get about 4 feet from him before he leisurely walks away. Today he lightened the load on my trailer of yard waste by eating fruit tree leaves for a couple of hours.

Nice deer. I'd love to see what his antlers form into.

Killing that deer would be murder. I had them in the yard last winter. Now that spring has put green back on everything they are staying away.

Heck its already loaded in the trailer!

Gee whiz, the only bucks I've ever had pose for the camera were laying on the ground with a tag in their ear. Nice backstrap, I mean deer, Chris. RAY

Not that I wouldn't be tempted. I could even spend some $$ on grain to fatten him.

The deer around here walk around and do as they please like cows in India. I'd like to process a few into sausages but I'm too old to go to jail. Fortunately my brother in law and nephews in Saskatchewan are hunters and I get white tail venison from them. Two weeks ago I made made another batch of my salame di cervo and am curing a venison loin for a breasola di cervo. Leaving today into the wilderness of the interior of Vancouver Island, camping and hiking in Strathcona Park.

That sounds like a lot of fun Chris! I'd be bringing a little something to discourage bears and lions from wanting to bother me. RAY

Took the picture from about 6 feet. He has been hanging around my apple tree. Yesterday he walked into my garage while I was in there because he saw a pail of apples. Took a lot arm waving to get him out. I get no respect!

Chris, start by flinging apples at him. That will convince him that you are not as friendly as he presumes.

Naw, he thinks I like him! And I have this love hate relationship with the deer here. They are fun to have around but make a mess on my driveway and restrict us from planting most flowers in the front yard.

He's turned into a nice looking buck. Looks very healthy. When will he go in rut?
