Checking on the Deer

Took a trip over to the woods today to see how the deer have been holding up in this cold weather.
I went to the usual spots and didn’t see them. It was mid morning and maybe they were still in the woods. You never know with these guys. I usually head out there with a bag of apples for them and thought I might be bringing it home with me. It was right about then that I saw a small fella walk out onto the street. Too small to be out there all by himself so I wandered over in that direction.
Not only were there deer there, I think they were all there! I don’t think I have ever seen a group that big over here. Usually it is between 5 and 10 but there had to be at least 30 in this group!
Needless to say, the bag of apples went fast. The ground is pretty snow covered so I figured they’d be hungry. Usually when they are done snacking on the apples, they wander off. Today though, everyone hung around and just seemed to be enjoying the warmer weather. It was in the high 20′s for the first time since Christmas. The younguns were playing around and even got mom to play around a little. The bucks even stuck around. I didn’t see any of the big guys around but some of the mid sized guys just hung around and even seemed to pose when I broke out the camera!
It was good to see them.
