Awww Monday September 16, 2018

Three days ago this lovely 2 point buck was
lounging in the sunshine near our fenced
vegetable garden with his harem and fawns
close by....

The next day I saw him under our bird feeder
drinking water, but not in good shape.
We think he'd been hit by a car as his left
antler was broken off and his right leg was
broken around the ankle region. It was
awful to see and there was nothing we could
do for him. After drinking a lot of water he
stumbled off, stopping to eat acorns along the way.
Since then we haven't seen him and we have to
assume he is probably dead. It makes us so sad to see
 this and we hope he isn't out there still suffering.     
Meanwhile his family is hanging outside our
home keeping each other company.
We love our deer.

  4. I do miss our home in the woods with the deer and other wildlife to watch and photograph. It is sad to see them injured although he may have picked a fight with a much more mature buck and lost.

  8. Oh, that's very sad about the stag! I've often seen deer walking through the woods with their fawns but never a stag.
