There's plenty of deer around here that are pets... Alot of people feed them. Some eat straight from the corn bucket.... I don't feed, but they still come in the yard to eat grass. I have to spray plants and shrubs to keep them off...
I get it. Bear are tough on the fawns too and we have a bunch in the area. I quit feeding birds during summer to keep the bear out of the yard. They like to show up during the day.
That’s an issue for sure. When you get in that area that’s between suburbia and rural you get a lot of folks feeding deer just to have them around to watch. It becomes a problem for many people.
Seems like a lot. I will say every deer I’ve shot in the past 25 years had ticks. Strong dislike for those blood suckers.
Gee ! the weight alone would drag a deer down ....and the blood loss would be huge ....no wonder they raid gardens , they must be looking for high iron and protein foods .
No, not all at once, and talking about there life time
yeah , I figured but it did say "3 million ticks each year ". I dont think I have ever seen one here but my cat treatment says " fleas , ticks and worms " Apparently we do have the Haemaphysalis longicornis Tick here but not in great numbers .
That's was the words used by the guy on the news, but maybe he didn't say year
yeah , all that aside ....they cant be nice for the deer .
Actually hoping to figure out who it is and have a conversation. There is nowhere public to park in the area. Only a handful of homes on the borders and I know them. I’m actually not too worried about it, unless it becomes a habit or I see him hunting.
Check for lost elderly people in the area? lol,
exactly what is a Rego number?
The number plate on a vehicle . The thinking being that all the remote boat ramps I frequent ( lake Monowai and North Mavora lake ) have only one way in or out ....end of the road sorta thing and cars have been broken into ( not mine ) , so I set up the trail cam to cover both my car and the access road ....I usually put it in a tree or bush where youd have to be activly looking for it to see it , Specially if we are overnighting up the lake .
