I'm just amazed! We see them here - but they keep a distance from our home. Poor thing. I feel sorry for the poor lovesick lad. And I had never heard of bachelor herds. Will have to look at ours a little closer the next time I see them.

But, I'm sure we'll soon be seeing more little mouths to feed.<br />I've never found any of those antlers they drop around here. They must have a hiding place for them. The least they could do, is drop me an antler, while they're devouring my landscape.<br />Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-42316703722324765972013-01-30T11:42:32.539-06:002013-01-30T11:42:32.539-06:00WOW!!!!
