These guys are in my neighbors yard on Staten Island. When I was growing up there were no deer on the Island. They swam from Jersey and now are all over.

Ear tags mean he was neutered.

Did they bring their Taylor Ham with them?

Here in Bucks County PA we have way too many deer. With the pictures my wife just took a few days ago, we'll be having more fawns next year. I'm not going to post the deer porn. Laughing smiley I've counted up to 20 deer in my yard, eating whatever they can, even Holly bushes!

Here's one of the fawns from July. Have not seen any piebalds though.

My dog loves chasing them. The bucks will stand their ground, but when he gets close they run, Always have to look before letting him out.

There's usually 2 or three babies every year. Fun to watch them play. These guys were a little late in losing their spots.

Haha! Make deer jerky! So many of them die a sad death in the winter. They are beautiful, but sadly many die starving and freezing to death over the winter. My son used to hunt them, and would cleanup and give to the maintenance staff at his old high school. He mostly only hunts ducks and birds now. People don't realize how many die in the winter a sad death. Thankfully, VA approved hunting on Sundays several years ago and it truly helps with the deer starving.

I'll be perfectly honest. I'm not a hunter. I have done it, but I did not enjoy it. I could do it to survive, but I don't want to do it otherwise. I'm not against it and will never turn down meat from my hunter friends. I usually have some venison meat in the freezer and will tear up some jerky.

There's plenty to feed on here during the winter, so we don't get a lot of starving. My neighbor throws out apples even though I told here that's a big mistake. The result is we get deer that will stand and watch you instead of running away. Until Coby goes charging of course. Laughing smiley
