Caught my "monster" on camera. Barely, hopefully will get a better pic tomorrow.

Here is the monster, not a bear, a deer, a big deer. Was standing outside and looking, just enough moonlight to make it out, I walked towards it and there isnt one, theres two. One is a big deer, but cant make out if its a buck or doe, and to the right next to the tree (The big one is left of the tree) is another slightly larger than a fawn. I dont have the game cam up yet so I had to get my DSLR and take a shot from 100 feet to the tree. Ill be mounting the game cam pointing to the tree real close tomorrow.

 

Would seem to me to be abnormal for a deer. Why would a deer come into someones backyard and lay next to a dog run with a dog barking at them and not move when the treeline is only 100 yards away and an open field with no houses behind that? And why would a deer get up and start walking towards the light of a flashlight? Ive hunted plenty, not lately and have seen plenty of deer in backyards, but it seems to be abnormal behavior. Unless they have just got so used to humans it doesnt even bother them any longer.

 

For the trash Im 99% sure what was tearing up the trash. Went outside at 2:30 this morning, heard the yelping. Drove over to Walmart (I was up early to head up to Nashville in a few hours) and on the way back had a coyote standing in the road next to a field, when I pulled up close he ran into the field. Those I know are all over the place here, they shot a bunch of them about 6 months ago. But they are still a lot around.

 

Hard to tell, left of tree, big deer laying down, didnt pick up the much smaller deer laying right next to the tree, but will tomorrow. Seems they come back to the same spot.

Why? 'Cause it ain't huntin' season, yet, that's why. Them critters know. Saw a doe and fawn twice today. One pair at the edge of Jackson and one pair near the house. Almost hit two speckles in a real sharp curve a few mornin's, ago. Glad I saw that off color movement. Front of the ol' Chevy is already screwed up from a damn deer.
