Mutt and Jeff

Since we've been here we've seen the same three young bucks wandering the property almost every day. We have taken to calling the two we see the most "Mutt" and "Jeff" mainly because they are the oddest deer we've ever run into up here. "Mutt" in particular....have you ever heard of a deer who likes to play fetch? We hadn't either...until now. And the other day as I was walking home from an stroll at dusk, I came across Mutt's path and so started talking to him to let him know that I was there...darned if he didn't walk right up to me! (thankfully he stopped before he got within reach. Not the best behavior for three little male deer right before the start of hunting season. Let's hope that they continue to stay on our little lot of land and not wander off to where hunting is allowed!
