Wow! We were out in the pasture putting out feed and fresh water and this axis doe came up and started eating around us. That never happens!!! They are usually very skiddish. She is pregnant though. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or not, but it was awesome. She is pretty. I guess its possible she knows the sound of our polaris ranger by now and knows that we’re there to feed and water. I don’t know. It wasn’t a one time thing. She has come up several times now while we are feeding. I can’t wait to see her baby. Hopefully she’ll still come around.
We have a fallow doe that will almost eat out of your hand, not quite, but very close. She is very pregnant too. The fallow bucks are starting to grow their horns back. I can’t wait to see how big they’ll get this year. They were nice last year, so they should be quite awesome this year.
