With apologies to Kevin Costner….
I’m talking about the deer.
When snow covers the ground and grass is hard to find?
Shoveling a path is a sure way to attract a crowd.
Or a herd, as the case may be.
We were really glad to see our resident 12 point buck survived hunting season.
And visits daily with his harem.
Of course he also chases them away when the treats run low.
Cheeky bugger.
Here’s a little clip in between snow storms.
River's world..... 
So, in Maine, the meat comes to you?

Members of Bambi’s extended family come to visit so we can enjoy watching them and take photographs….. I’m sure that’s what you meant.
Right?

He’s beautiful, I’m so glad and relieved that he made it through hunting season as well. He is definitely a handsome mofo, and loves to show his authority with his harem. lol

In the animal kingdom (as opposed to human kingdoms), you obviously don’t need a lot of bucks to afford a harem. Obviously, deer have a more advanced and egalitarian society than humans (not to mention, they don’t shoot humans).

He currently has 6 women and 4 children…. that we know of. Lucky? Maybe… though I doubt many human males would ever want 6 wives. Mormons not withstanding.

Your guests certainly left a lot of foot-y prints on the snow. Kind of rude considering the nice path you made for them.

I guess that all depends on the harem.

I always do a path in the back yard so the bunny has somewhere to eat. We don’t get anything as interesting as your deer, but it feels good to help.

I kid you not, I walked into the living room the other day and my daughter was watching some show with a man shoveling his lawn and I was all ??? “What is this?” and it was just an interview about another thing and this guy happened to be shoveling his lawn. The only reason I’ve ever seen someone do it was so the tiny dog would make, as she was too fussy to deal with snow up to her nose. But now, I see this, and I say, AHA! I don’t know that the man was inviting wildlife, but AHA!

No deer when I shovel, just a place where the dog can do his business and not get frostbitten.
