The other morning there was a mule buck with 8 points eating a plant on the steps, right out side our bedroom window. I watched him from 4 feet away through the screen. There was another mule deer playing with Ellie’s swing at the same time, in the moonlight.
The buck eating the plant looked like this…
Eventually the big buck smelled my breath, or heard me breathing, and ran off. He scared the other deer to attention, and then she ran off as well.
Then I fell back asleep…
