Living where I do you see lots of wildlife when you look out the windows. Sometimes, you see animals that you want to go outside to get a closer look at, such as, deer. Then there are other times they are not exactly things that you want to check out, such as, porcupines.
There are times of the year when the deer become pretty common and it is not usual to see 4-8, they are almost always in pairs, at a time. Sometimes it will be a doe just laying around watching her fawn eat some grass or the low leaves on our apple tree. On the day when we do get one of the larger groups they will usually be found in our backyard garden grazing and scattered around.
For about two weeks though we had just one lone buck that would come around and rest in our garden. He would just lay there few minutes and then get up and leisurely graze, I suppose he felt safe, and then just lope off. This become a daily event and sometimes he would have a doe with him. Then he just stopped showing up and we would hear more coyotes howling. So, maybe it is just that time of the year that the deer go more into hiding.
