Still no rain for any benefit.
The whole effort is to supplement the food supply (and to not have to put kitchen vegetable scraps in the landfill) of the deer. All the other animals seem to be able to cope with lack of forbs. Water is a different story. Not sure how many watering spots there are around the 2000 acres, but 15 gallons of water per day is about the consumption we see here.
We observed a "never before" this morning. Five mature bucks were walking single file in the back yard, all with their nice racks of antlers. No sparring, just meandering along. Could not get the camera fast enough before they disappeared into the brush.
The herd, if one wants to call it that, is 4 does. One doe has two fawns, the other doe has one fawn.
No other activity
