My wife got some great pics today of deer that were in our yard. They come by every day to eat the acorns and some feed she puts out while its so cold. Really interesting to watch them in their social groups.

It makes one wonder getting to watch them every day in their social groups. Our yard is littered with acorns, a favorite browse, and My wife supplements some high protein feed for them when it gets cold.
The adult does always take to the food first, eating until they are done, then allowing the fawns to come in.
Its survival of the fittest in the wild, and I'm wondering of the food hoarding by the senior does is why we find a lot of fawn skulls when shed hunting in the spring?

Don't know. Just speculating.
