Isn't it amazing that they seem to know when it is NOT hunting season.... appears that they can read the calendar. Two young does calmly walked through my front yard in the 100 block of North Chadwick even though I was sitting on the front steps drinking coffee. Four or five minutes later, a very healthy 6 point buck pranced along the same route with more purpose in mind. I first saw them in the yard next to mine that is closer to Shelbyville Road. They went out of sight down toward Charing Cross. I never did see them break into a run dedspite the fact that I heard dogs barking, apparently at them.
They (the deer) did not fertilize my lawn.
