Last summer during the Texas drought (still in a drought), the deer camped out in and birthed their babies at people’s front doors as that was the only green around.
This does not surprise me. Right now I have two bucks that visit my garden nightly. In all the time I have lived here 20 + years I have never seen buck so bold. These two will snort and whistle when run off. The does are much braver and make their tour day or night. Course now I watered my garden and there are some apple trees nearby which these two bucks have at least one daily meal. There is no green grass/weeds except around the garden edge.
