Our house was built in the deer's natural habitat in a remote rural area. Well worn deer trails cut through the property's abundant pine and sage. The oldest deer we've met (we call her Mama Rose) walked right up to us when we first arrived, sniffing and looking us over.


Rose and her kin obviously think the yard belongs to them as much as anyone else. They especially like clover flowers, but it's amazing to see the variety of tasty flowers, leaves, twigs, nuts and berries they'll eat. They stay away from herbs and herbal flowers, but on occasion we've seen young deer eating the sweet medicinal berries of the Juniper tree.� While often running into the yard to greet us with their quiet enthusiasm, they will also swiftly shy away from strangers.


Although notoriously skittish, able to leap meters in the air in an instant when startled, a few deer we know will let us touch them as if we were family, letting us scratch them or pick something out of their fur. Eva even enjoys a hearty back rub! We've certainly learned a lot about how to act around them so as not to disturb them. We think they appreciate our efforts in fitting into their neighborhood.

(when he was very young we thought this guy was female, but when his velvet antler brow first began to appear, and we realized our mistake, we decided to leave him as a buck named Charlotte )
