Look who came to visit

[Dion]

Some deer decided to visit my backyard. They come up from the Highwood river and travel alomg the green space or the golf course a street behind me. Sometimes I see them sleeping under the fir trees during the night

As you can see there are no deer on the ground except for those ones who will be eaten on Tuesday.

[_Q_]

mmmm... they look delicious

[Minnie]

Beautiful creatures.

I miss all the wildlife when I lived in Cranbrook.

Seeing a deer was a daily event haha.

Yeah I remember seeing lots of dead deer in the ditch while coming into Cranbrook. Made me slow down my bike to a more legal speed.

I see deer in my neighbourhood as well but my motion sensor light scares them out of my yard. The sensor light is more to scare the bears but the raccoons aren't fazed at all.

growing up in the Okanagan makes you look at deer the same way that local Australians look at kangaroos. they're a nuisance, ####ting everywhere, tearing apart fruit bushes and apple trees, and causing an untold number of car accidents. my dad had to clean more than one off the front of his logging truck, because it's better to smack them head-on than trying to swerve and cause an accident with a load of logs

i just can't see the majesty about an animal that will just stand there with a stupid look on it's face as a giant metal beast mows them over

They want the D.

They have caused accidents in High River as they like to cross highway 2A by the River Roadhouse bar and resturaunt. That area is not well lit and collisions between vehicles and deer happen quite often. Last week I missed hitting one by a a few feet. Thing is you can't see them when they dart across the road at night

That's nothing. While delivering papers there where about seven Deer in a group eating from a bush on someone's lawn.

Meanwhile in my back yard



Carefull or they'll spook!

[PIMking]

tasty!

the deer down here in Alabama are tiny, those little ones are bigger than ours. However we have wild pig and that's good eating

[saskflames69]

They would look nicer in my freezer.

Them deers there are barely past fawning- so still have a bit to grow. We gots the boar too, but not so much around Cal Gary.

We'd see them a few times a year when I lived with my mom in Millrise, coming up from Fish Creek. Living in Chaparral now, I get them sometimes there too.

The cool thing is I can hear coyotes about once or twice a week about 6 months a year in Chap too. I've run into them on two occasions too. Once just one. One time three came trotting down a pathway towards me till they noticed me and stole into the brush. Something soothing for me though, hearing them bay at night as I go to sleep.

Maybe one of the more rare events happened when I was still living with my mom in Millrise. Though deer were pretty common, one weekend we actually got a moose running around the neighbourhood! Fish and wildlife had to come out to tranq it though. As the story went in the Herald the next day, the moose's final stop was to nose around the yard of a hunter. The wife called him up at work to tell him, 'your not going to believe this!' I guess he got home in time to see F&W loading him in their truck or whatever they use and taking him away.

I routinely have about 15 deer in my yard. In the winter, I feed them a bit of oats, twice a day if cold, once a day if warmer.

I divide the oats in a couple of buckets, so they don't have to fight and decide who gets the oats. Once I have filled the buckets, I thump it with my hands, and they come running out of the bush for their treat.

These are some of the deer that come to visit during the summer.
