A young whitetail doe and her fawn have taken up residence in our backyard. She was first sighted a couple days ago munching grass only a few feet from our bedroom window. The strange thing is that we have a full privacy fence around the yard and I recently repaired all of the holes. She is getting in through a gap below the grate that allows water to flow through our yard. I got this footage today at lunch. I was unable to locate the fawn, but Mandy says its quite young--still has spots.
I really don't mind the extra wildlife, but part of our garden is exposed for her to eat. So long as she stays away from our tomatoes, squash, and peppers we should all get along fine. Otherwise I will have to dispatch a brigade of vicious (but de-clawed) domestic cats. Right now Pirate and Cricket appear indifferent to our herbivorous freeloader, but with the right motivation we might get some footage that looks like a leopard chasing an impala on the Serengeti. That would be a sight.
