This morning when Cathy’s alarm woke me up, I stuck my nose out the window trying to decide whether the roads were looking ok or not. What I really hadn’t expected to see was a pair of deer in my neighbor’s yard. Cathy’s seen deer near the end of our street before, but never saw them this close, and it was a first for me (although we do see them from time to time just a little south of us). While I was watching, another one meandered across the street.
Of course, this was probably one of the safer spots for these deer. This last weekend was the start of firearm season in Michigan. One would hope that a residential street would deter any hunters from shooting at them. They were also does, and I’m not really sure what Michigan’s rules on bucks vs does are in hunting.
