Does a Doe Know Where to Go when the Snow's About to Show?

...What, do I sound bored?! How about just, "Oh Deer!" I've been seeing deer a lot lately, about 99.99% does....


...There are white-tailed does all over the Black Hills, the most commonly sighted of the deer...


...Why did the doe cross the road....? Yep, you guessed it...just checking...


...This is only the second buck I've seen this year, both were in Custer St. Park...they're safe from hunters in the park, so you'd think they'd be a bit less stand-offish...instinct must run deep...


...And last but not least, there are mule deer, which seem a lot less common, at least for me, than the white-tailed deer. It's easy to see why they're called 'mule' deer.

    We have seen quite a few does to..but no big bucks yet...we haven't seen any elk in a while either...we love to go 4-wheelin and look for all kinds of wildlife..nothing like being out in nature....

    I saw a buck in the field Sunday morning, it was cold enough to see his breath...he just stood and stared a few minutes before going back into the woods. Got his photo though.

    She has got some ears;) The white tails aren't too far behind in that department either.

    I met a deer last evening who seemed to want to become a hood ornament. Good thing I never drive fast on country roads.
