The male is a stag and the hinds are females. So this male started attracting females? I can see how issues would multiply, if this one stag was servicing multiple hinds.
That is too funny. He thought he knocked her head off.
Oh, deer!
That’s hilarious!
I just bought a fake coyote to scare the deer out of our yard. I saw a big bull elk like the one in that gif at the sporting goods store. It’s a practice target for hunters.
Our town must have thinned the herd last winter. I’ve counted up to 26 deer around our yard in past years. Now we are down to two does and a buck. I’ve got a six layer deer defense that is working pretty good: Spray bushes and flowers with “Liquid Fence” (but hold your nose!); twin lines of “Deer Scram” at the edge of our property; a fake coyote; coyote urine sprayed around the coyote; some new “Wireless Deer Fence” training devices (two foot tall plastic posts with electrodes on top) that attract the deer and give them a high voltage shock on the tongue!; and motion-activated sprinklers. I also charge at them waving my arms and screaming bloody murder at them.
She lost her head. The buck’s reaction is hilarious.
That would certainly ruin my mood.
