Wow...
Great Antlers! So much more noble with them!
We only get moms and fawns in the summer. We don't live there year round.
The females chase the males away. We have seen some huge fights etc.
I guess nursing females have "priority".
Here is another:
The salt block is to the right of the mother..it is a brown, mineral one that year.
It is small.. 3x8inches or so. I don't leave large ones, too damaging to the
trees etc. The females nursing fawns need alot of salt for their milk.
I have found that deer will eat any discarded food. Potatoe chips (stale), breakfast cereal, any fruit--they love cantaloupe rinds and watermelon, even old potatoes. Of course they love carrots too. I put out all my peelings for them, in the summer.
