This is the Final Picture I took - these two spend too much time in my back yard and allowed me to walk right up to the fence. The smaller one was a fawn this past spring. They trotted off when I went outside the fence.
Deer in Suburban Colorado
This is the first picture I took through the kitchen window. My Corgi is trying to herd five deer out of my veggie garden and fruit trees. Before the dog went out - one of the deer was nibbling on the peach tree on the far right. Peaches are fairly deer resistant, but the apples and pears (not shown) are a favorite deer snack.
This is the second photo: the deer pointedly ignoring my other dog.
Wow that's a lot of deers, How many were there? I'm counting 4 in the first pic, but the second seem to be showing more.
There seemed to be 5 total. Three? ran off, 2 weren't afraid of the dogs and stuck around. My husband saw 13 in the backyard last spring, that would be the most sighted at once. Just beyond the fruit trees there is a utility easement that leads to a drainage easement that leads to Pueblo Reservoir in Pueblo State Park. I think that is where they originally came from. But the two in the top picture may not even leave the neighborhood anymore.
Great pic's !!! They sure are a brazen herd.
