I have seen these guys a couple times on my walks around my block. A couple of saturdays ago the fawns ventured over in our yard, which really stressed mom out!! After several minutes, she was able to get all 3 following her to get them out of there. She had seen me through the window!!

How

I had a freind once that feed them (No, they didn't hunt as some do off their porch!

). She ended up with one coming through the patio door when she didn't remember to fill the trough!

They can wreck havoc in a house!

Two years ago a large buck somehow managed to make his way through two quiet subdivisions here and then entered a huge Episcopal church by breaking a window. The poor deer ran up into the balcony and then fell to the sanctuary floor, suffering massive injuries, and had to be euthanized.

The church is at least 10-15 miles from anything even remotely like what you'd call a wooded area but somehow the deer traveled that distance, crossing several really busy streets on top of everything else.

That is so neat! I loved watching our female and her tripletts all this past winter. I hope to see them again with their young this fall. It is wonderful to watch Mom keep an eye on the young as they venture out
