Key Deer

The old fellow is about as big as any get, maybe 70-80 lbs. His diet is starting to suffer, ergo the 5x1 rack.. It is hard to see, but he has a golf ball swell over his left eye, presumably from a butt.

The button was very aggressive. He was trying to push the 5x1 out of the way. May be the next big guy.

The 3x3 in the back ground was timid. I don't think he got close enough to get any of the offerings..

We do not feed the deer, per say. We do recycle all veggie & starch matter in our "open compost area" (side yard), if we have any. May go 5-8 days without.

There is a 30-40 head heard that lives at the end of the street. They visit several times a day.

We trade compost access for small organic pellet fertilizer lawn enhancement dropping.

I consider it a fair trade,, The show for the Touristas is a nice benefit..
