A family of six doe and a buck have wintered north of our house. I don't know where they spend all of their time but they spend a great deal of time within eye shot of my dogs. My dogs will bark at squirrels, rabbits, horses, ground hogs and sometime even birds, but they go crazy over deer.
It was interesting to watch them turn from brown to grey and now back to brown. I am always amazed that there are so many deer that it's a problem. My dogs can hear and see them easily an d I don't think they hide well. I think we should introduce wild cats to Dallas County to help manage the herds.
In the past my deer family was larger and included a old buck and a new buck. The young buck was required to stay on the fringe and any attempt to join the tight knit group was met with a butt kicking.
This year only one buck and I think he got fat and lazy.
I don't know what this mild winter will do to the deer population but I imagine my winter herd will be doubled in November.
Larry the Communicator and The Commissioner must be really bad shots.
