Those are great fun, Dan. Lucky for you to have them in your yard. You know,
we see lots of deer in the nature center in my neighborhood in inner-city
Chicago. I live by what used to be a tuberculosis center--then it became a
nature center. I once counted 5 deer. Nothing like seeing deer. We used
to get skunks in our neighborhood too. When my husband & I 1st moved into
our flat, a skunk used to stroll the gangway and stink it up for what seemed
like every night during the summer. Our bedroom windows would be wide open,
then all of a sudden skunk smell would come wafting through the window.
Anyway, I digress, really enjoyed seeing your deer pics. Cheers, Christine

Subject: PESO: A Magnificent Rack
OK, I hope the title grabbed your attention.
I looked out last Saturday morning and saw a small herd of deer cleaning
up under the bird feeders. I noticed one that appeared a bit broader than
the others, and I suspected it might be pregnant, and perhaps the large
doe we call Big Mamma. I was about to tell my wife, when the deer raised
its head, showing clearly that it was not Big Momma. It displayed a
magnificent rack, as nice as most "trophies" I have seen. He ran into the
woods when he saw me, but stayed in the vicinity, waiting to get back to
the feeders. So, I put out some whole corn so I could get a photo or two:

Later in the day, my wife finished off a jar of peanut butter. She
suggested that I put it out under the oaks to see what the squirrels would
do to get the remnants. Well, I put it out, but the squirrels never got a
chance:
