Homemade Deer Feeder

[Doe-ee]

We've had a number of deer the last few weeks coming into our yard and raiding the bird feeders.
They've been licking them clean every 2 or 3 days, so we set up a game cam to capture the thieves on film.
Steve then got the brilliant idea to build a deer feeder and put it next to a couple of the bird feeders. They are loving it. After feeding on the corn though, they always lick out the bird feeders anyway.
Dessert I guess.
We've had some does and fawns earlier but this nice buck comes back every night now.
We've also captured a black bunny, a black dog and the last pic shows some other kind of animal at the feeder. Not sure what that is. Any help on that one would be appreciated.

I got to agree with hogdawg on that one maybe bigfoot. The black rabbit is cool never seen one of them. Shot a black squrriel couple years back. Had him mounted cause it was the only one i had ever seen. Seen a few more since that one though.

And that last "thing"? Abominal Snowman maybe? Whatever it is scares me and I'm fearless!!!

It kinda scares me too. And it makes such a mess!

It looks like a slightly balding, flannel wearing love of your life resetting the studio...

Oooohhh he didn't like the balding comment. Now I really AM scared!
Maybe I should toss him some sunflower seeds.

We've got quite a few domestic rabbits, gone wild around the neighborhood. Any more and I might have to start thinking about "slingshot rabbit stew".

Jeesh, it scares me too (bad hair day)

Well, maybe balding is a bit harsh... How about receding...a little

Cool pics Steve and Dianna. Looks like a great blacktail, shame you cannot hunt them in the back yard.

Is that 4X4 the same one you got pics of back over the summer Steve?

This may have been him earlier in the summer


I think one of these is the same buck as the first a month or so later


I know this one is the little weird guy.
