Ep. 18: 15 New Fawns! Aug-Sep 2018

Wow! I never expected so many new fawns this year! Some are brave and come up to me. Others are getting used to me. Some are just too shy. the mommas kept many of them hidden for a long time. Greta finally showed up with her fawn 10 weeks after having her. Mickey just showed up yesterday with her twin girls......first time I have seen her in 4 months! But it is always a fun time whenever they show up for a snack! I am amazed every day that they accept me as a friend of theirs!
I follow the DNR regulations closely for recreational deer feeding, including the use of corn.

Your yard is like heaven!!! I love all your videos so much. They are relaxing. I have missed Elly so much and have worried about her babies. So glad to read in your posts that they are well and you are working on a video. Thank you so much for your kindness and your love of animals and sharing your fantastic videos!

[@flyfish0822]

Hi Joyce! Yes, it was heart breaking to see them cry like that. We are not sure if Elly broke a leg or hip, or what. The neighbors down the road found her in their woods. Little Wrigley disappeared back in August. Birdie and Elly Mae are doing great, and come to visit me almost every day now. I am always so happy to see them doing well! You can see them in the most recent videos, and how they made it through their first winter...and their first Polar Vortex. Have a great week! :-)))

Hi Jane. Yes,the boys love to play and can get a little rough at times. Some deer like apples, and others don't. Adrian (Elly's 2 yr old) never ate an apple while Elly was around. As soon as Elly died, Adrian decided she liked apples. Other apple lovers are Marcie, Greta, Zoe, and Maggie. Maggie has just learn to take them from my hand. :-)))

@@flyfish0822 Ich frage mich schon lange : Wie riecht dieses Tier und wie fühlt sich ihr Fell an? Den Luxus kennen wir nicht alle und ich würde es gerne wissen.Danke ❤🍀

[@flyfish0822]

Hallo Rita :-) Elly ist gestorben, weil sie krank geworden ist, oder weil sie ihr Bein oder ihre Hüfte gebrochen hat. Wir sind nicht sicher, aber die Jagdsaison hat noch nicht begonnen, also wissen wir, dass sie nicht erschossen wurde. Aber es war immer noch sehr traurig, sie zu verlieren. Es war schwer zu sehen, wie ihre Drillinge in meinen Garten kamen und nach Mama riefen, Elly, und sie hatten zu viel Angst, um zu mir zu kommen, damit ich sie zu der Zeit füttern konnte. Es ist wunderbar, zwei der Drillinge noch hier herum zu haben und ein paar Momente mit ihnen zu verbringen. Ich wünschte, ich könnte viel mehr tun, um auf sie aufzupassen. :-))) Die Jagdsaison begann hier vom 1. Oktober bis 1. Januar. Ich fürchte mich um diese Jahreszeit. Ich warne die Rehe ..... zumindest hoffe ich, dass sie mich verstehen können! Ich beobachte, welche Hirsche auftauchen, oder ob ihre Kitze anfangen, sich selbst zu zeigen .... dann sorge ich mich um das. Ich hatte zwei junge Kitze (Jungen) ihre Mama, Bella, vor ein paar Jahren verlieren. Sie kamen und sahen mich zweimal im Herbst, Winter und Frühling. Ich stellte sicher, dass sie Mais bekamen, und sie liebten Äpfel!

[@flyfish0822]

Die Rehe riechen nicht, außer wenn es draußen heiß und feucht wird und sie gerannt sind. Dann kann ich ihnen einen sehr tiefen, moschusartigen Geruch riechen ... fast wie nasses Leder oder so. Ihr Fell verändert sich mit den Jahreszeiten. Im Sommer haben sie längere, glatte Haare. Im September verlieren sie die langen Haare und ein sehr kurzes, weiches Fell bleibt übrig. Ich liebe es, sie zu streicheln, wenn sie so sind. Aber das ist der Beginn, einen Wintermantel anzuziehen ... ein sehr dickes, dichtes Fell, das sie den ganzen Winter warm hält. Sie verlieren den Wintermantel im Frühling, und die längeren, dünneren Haare sind für den Sommer übrig. Die Kitze sind sehr weich, wenn sie jung sind und ihre Flecken haben. Sie haben jetzt ihre Flecken verloren, und ihre Haare beginnen gerade dicker zu werden in einen schönen, warmen Wintermantel. Ich hoffe, das malt ein schönes Bild für dich. :-)))))

It ended up in the spam box for some reason, and I didn't notice it until I hit the delete button, and I was like, "Oh no!!!! Wait!!!!! Come back!"

I hope all is going well with you! :-))))))

Wow you have sooooo many this year. We have about 6-8 they are so hard to keep track of. My 1 year old Twins Lady and the Tramp are so much fun. They prefer hand feeding or cup feeding their corn. They come every day. Little honey one of our fawns lost her mom two weeks ago today to the coyotes on the golf course. We are not sure what happened but the Honey is following around her Grandma named Mama since her Mom "Little Mama" went to heaven. But your advice was so helpful. We named them all. It rained for three days last week and they didn't come out. Then we came home the last day late like midnight and Tramp saw my SUV and he came running. When we parked in the garage and got out of the car and walked out of the garage there were 8 deer in the yard. I wish I could show you a pic or video our deer look so different.

[@flyfish0822]

That is so cool! I think it is wonderful that they come up to you, and that you have given them names. They don't really like the rain days too much here, either, but they really don't like the wind! It makes them nervous when it is blowing hard, I think because they cannot hear any danger signs as good, and makes them skittish. I would love to see a video if you can ever post one. There are free programs you can use online to make a video that you can upload to KZbin. There are many people that would love to see your videos, too. Best of luck to you and your furry friends! :-)))

Wonderful video and music thank you so much. Please forgive me for intruding but, I have to when I see a animal in trouble. The wild cat must be trapped and have his eye taken care. If your unable to do this, perhaps finding a rescue that deals with feral cats. If it’s not distemper then it’s at least a bad eye infection. And, it might spread to other animals. From what I’ve gathered, he could’ve in pain.

[@flyfish0822]

Hi Rebeka! I am happy you like the video and music! That poor kitty. I don't think it every had a home. It has been in the wild for at least two years. I even see it in the deep of winter in the side field searching for food. I was very surprised when it showed up here a few times like it was hoping to get some food from me. I couldn't get very close to it, but would put out a little mild or some canned chicken which it loved! It has only been here about 5-6 times in the last two months. It has a big raw spot behind it's left ear, too. I was hoping it would become friendly and come up to me so I can help it. I watch for it every day to see if it comes back.
