Backyard Wildlife Take 3

So I posted about the deer yesterday morning and not 5 minutes later our next door neighbor comes knocking at our door... she says, "Look in our backyard! There are 2 big buck back there and we didn't want you guys to miss them."

So Ella and I head out to check things out and this is what we see:

Pretty cool, but they are definitely pests... so I was grateful they were next door. They bedded down back there and looked like they would stay for a while.


Ella and I then headed out for our morning activities and when we came back I sent the dog out to go potty. But she didn't really go anywhere, she just stood on the deck. So I looked up and realized the buck were in our yard, eating our very dead garden! And the roses!So I guess you can't really tell from the pictures because our camera has a good zoom on it - so the ones of the deer "far away" don't look so far away - but this last pic was really close to the house. These animals are big! I just can't imagine being this close to a moose or an elk... and I'm glad those two haven't shown up in our backyard!
