Found Dead Deer

[pop pop]

I just found a very young (button buck) deer, that was dead, in my back lot. Don't know what happened, but didn't see any shot marks on his body. Guessing he got hit crossing the road and made it to my back lot and died.  

We have 3 deer that live in the woods behind our home, and I am guessing he is one of last years fawns. They cross the road 2 or 3 times a day to water from the creek that runs in front of our home. Will know for sure if we only see 2 deer, in the future. 

My sweetie is sad. We enjoy watching them almost daily.

We've got some that pass thru old pasture land behind our house on a regular basis.  I see them early or late in the day when I'm out smoking on the back porch.  Sometimes they are just grazing along (seldom) and then can be really moving along on their way to/from their water hole on a nearby farm.  Not seen any antlers but have seen a good size doe with a couple little ones following close.
