Deer

We haven't seen deer on our property for a while, but yesterday while doing dishes I saw some in our backyard, so I ran to get our bucket of birdfood that our birds don't care for (it has a ton of corn) and put it at the bottom of the stairs off our front door, and sure enough, they started eating it. The second picture is a deer at our salt lick. For all you city folk, a salt lick is a salt/mineral block that animals regularly lick that provides them sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. They sometimes occur naturally, but this one was bought at the Pine Country Feed Store. They're supposed to attract animals from miles away, but no such luck with ours.
