I saw a deer

That's how it is here as well and I love it. I actually want to move further up north into the country or wild.

We have had deer downtown and foxes as well. I know it it neat to see them. Just as long as you do not "see them" up close and personal with your car. I do wonder how safe my cats are from the foxes and coyotes, and shoot, even from the possums. I have had a possum walk in my backdoor one morning when I had it open for the cats to go out.

hi ElicBxn the picture I have often seen in my mind was engraved there during a horrible fire season in Tustin Ca a little over four years b ack when we sill lived at El Dorado Gardens apts. the fire came right down to the city l imits. Traffic was stopped on the main Newport Blv. traffic stopped and people just watched. it was horrible as the ppor animals were so panicked they no longer were afraid of people, they just wanted to not be burned any more. the fire came so close it was just yards from our apt complexes then the wind changed and the firefighters finally got it under control . animal rescue people had to come with a bevy of trucks, calm the deer down and transport them back up into the Tustin hills where the fire was out. No cars hit them mor did anyone run into each other the scene was so wild people just stopped and watched It was so scary and those deer were so pathetic too I still weep thinking about it. in the wild fires they have statistics on how many people were injured, how many properties damaged but no one thinks about the wild life whose lives were disrupted.

We have a bunch of deer here. They are pretty things but cause alot of accidents around here.

Awwww, how adorable! How I would love to see a deer. There are many in this country but they're very secretive. Probably like your lot. We did see a wild fox though once, in broad daylight, on one of our drives into the countryside a few years ago. It stopped to look at us too, then ran off. Gorgeous!

You are really lucky that you actually noticed that deer in time...Those animals can really do some distructive damage to an automobile... Besides what does one do when they hit sometime as large as a deer?..fortunately I have not had that experience.

Yeah, from the ages of 14-16 we lived in front of a heavily wooded area. We would see deer, but one time a coyote got ahold of my sister's kitten.

wow what an experience!i never saw a deer up close and personal. i just saw them in movies and in my food web worksheets. i am not that familiar with that organism and we don't have deers in our area too. i just happened to know some facts about deers.When we encounter the deer in the wild, our breath catches - we are transfixed by their graceful features and delicate movements. The deer is linked to the arts, specifically poetry and music in ancient Celtic animal lore due to its graceful form. The Celts also believed that deer were associated with the fairie realm, and would lead troops of fairies - hundreds of them trailing behind them as the stag cut a path through the forest.

That's really cool! I always get nervous when I spot deer at the side of the road, especially when it's late or after dark and they are feeding there at the side of the freeway. I mean, you're going like 80 miles an hour and they could just jump out at any second and then BAM!! So, that's good reason to be nervous about seeing them. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I love seeing deer. For a while, we saw them fairly often as new housing developments were going up taking the deer woods with them. It was sad to see since our part of New Jersey had always been rural. Now it all exurbs. I hate it!

We have deer out here where I live. When you go out on the turnpike or the highways they will be in the wooded type/country areas. It's kind of scary because they are right there at the side of the road and you could hit them if they ran out.

I live in a heavily wooded area so i am used to see ing deer in the fields. During hunting season, You need to be careful of having them jump across the higheay when you drive. I don't usually see that many deer in the summer months. Yesterday morning, I was eating breakfast and I looked out the kitchen window and there stood the biggest deer I ever saw. At first I thought it was a dog. that really gave a jumpstart to my day. I was a little worried because we have two out side dogs and cats that like to roam around. i was afraid of interaction with the deer, but it turned out just fine.

We people need travel many kilometers to see such animals like deer. I used to find a lot of deer while I travel through the road in the forest.

They can be out at any time of day, afternoon is when I see them alot around here and such as well. I have yet to see one on this property yet but the closest is about 10 blocks away near where my brother works.

I wouldn't let the cats out, I live in the city and my cats have never seen the outside.

As long as there are deer and other displaced critters, the predators aren't very apt to go for the cats. It's when there isn't anything to hunt or if the predator is old they will go for domesticated animals. Around our area it is common for the deer to be in the middle of the roads, driveways, and in our yards. Since the feed is scarce they will go anywhere for a bite to eat. Deer prefer green food and right now all the available food is dry, so they aren't very interested. What is really fun in our area is when the turkeys are looking for mates. They will respond to anything that closely resembles a turkey call. I have gobbled at them, honked my car horn at them, blew raspberries at them and they have happily answered my call. In fact they have followed my car after I have honked my horn at them, with their tail feathers in full display to impress the female that called them...unfortunately it isn't easy to mate with a Suburu Station wagon!

We have some wooded areas and see deer fairly often even in city limits. We hit one on the interstate 5 or 6 years ago. Just yesterday a 16 year old we know hit a deer on the interstate north of here. He is ok, but it busted the radiator and so the car in not drivable. My husband was able to give him and his dad a ride back to the city.

We used to see deer frequently when there was an open field behind the houses across the street. Now that area is filled with houses, we don't see any more deer and not as much other wildlife. I liked to see the deer but am glad that my landscaping is safe from them. Now, if I could convince the squirrels and rabbits that I didn't plant my garden just for them. I didn't know squirrels ate tomatoes, but that is what my husband saw.

There are those to worry about for sure. I bet the fires did drive the animals closer. I see alot of deer here but the natural predators of the area are quite rare now. Coyotes are the most common I guess now. I think they reintroduced Timber Wolves a while back. There is a place they are limited to though...a controlled area where they can't venture further than the fences allow. Eventually they will let them go but for now they are fenced. Bears are another thing. We can go to Cades Cove here and see them in the early morning..they warn you not to feed them though.

We humans are more and more invading wild animals territories. Like the deer and other wild animals. That probaly would explain seeing a deer in the city during the day. Coyotes are invading city and towns,too. Raccoons are known to do that,too. As long as us human keep building closer and closer to the wild life this will keep on happening.
