Whatcha Find Wednesday

I see you there hiding in the brush.

Look at what we found for this Whatcha Find Wednesday.


If your having trouble seeing it, it is not a nosey neighbor, it is a white-tailed deer.
Hopefully she sticks around for deer season.
The deer's coat is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter. The deer can be recognized by the characteristic white underside to its tail, which it shows as a signal of alarm by raising the tail during escape.
 male deer (also known as a buck or stag) usually weighs 60 to 130 kg (130 to 290 lb)
Males re-grow their antlers every year. About 1 in 10,000 females also have antlers, although this is usually associated with hermaphroditism
White-tailed deer are generalists and can adapt to a wide variety of habitats.
Deer are excellent fence-jumpers, and their fear of motion and sounds meant to scare them away is soon dulled.


I hope everyone has a great week and happy hunting. Not the deer because it's not deer season.
