Deer in the Backyard
Duluth, MN
I bought a 50-lb. bag of Deer Mix and threw a few cupfuls in the backyard tonight. I didn't even get to the middle of my yard before a doe and her two fawns already came running to me! I think the smell from when I opened the bag brought them in! Pretty fun. I'll keep adding to this gallery as more different deer come in.

You're feeding me? Okay, I'll tolerate the Canon 550EX SpeedLight Flash...
Almost TOO not afraid of a very large bipedal omnivore named Tony...
Good thing I only had a camera. I could have just knifed him right there if I was very hungry.
Check out the bite-wound on his back! I'll bet the boy next to him (Bruno the BackBiter -right) did that.
Bruno, the Suspected BackBiter Dude...
Bit-boy Spiker (I'll now call him Steve) came right up next to me, with no fear. He kept checking his 6 behind him. Bruno the 8-point was keeping him alert...and kicked him away several times.

Wait, am I a llama? Or a deer? Or a llama?

Wait...

Taking off at the spiker...he ran him right into a tree (out of my camera range), and sent him zipping to the next county.
A 4-second time exposure while I lit up the deer with a Surefire E2-D light. How many deer can you see in this photo?
A 6-second time exposure while I lit up the deer with a Surefire E2-D light.
The buck on the right is the 10-pointer, which is the largest set of antlers I have seen back here yet. He won't walk into the yard when I am out there. He is play-sparring with that solid looking 6-pointer. This is that solid 6-pointer. He has sparred often with the big guy, but it looks like it is a father teaching his son how to box, without getting too agressive. Fun to watch!
Steve, the dude with the huge bite on his back. He has the most confidence (or the most stupidity) and comes right up next to me with my camera.
A nice close-up of Steve's big-ass wound. That's a good chunk of muscle missing there!
Hey, Steve!
Hey does not fear my camera one bit.
This shows you how close he is willing to get to me, with his head down, even. This Deer Mix kibble must be like crack cocaine or something....
I was just 6 feet away from Steve, and he completely turned his back on me. Pretty amazing trust, or like I mentioned, maybe he's just really stupid...
A nice close-up of Steve.
I am only about 4 feet from him here.
I am about three feet from Steve here, about as close as I am willing to get without bumping into or touching him. That would be bad...
Another good view of Steve's big-ass shoulder wound. I'm wondering how new it is, and if he will survive this or if it might become infected. It looks new and somewhat raw. Poor guy.
