Just got back from my first visit to the National Key Deer Refuge on Big PIne and No Name Key. Saw one beautiful buck and 8 does. They are the size of a medium sized dog, and curious enough to come up to cars. This photo gives you an idea of the size of an adult doe standing in front of a car.

They are adorable!! Very easy to see that they are no match for an automobile which is very sad. I read story yesterday about Eastern Cougar being declared extinct.
Aren't they cute? I'm sure they are used to handouts from people in cars, even though they are not supposed to be fed.
