backyard wildlife

Is that a recent picture of the buck? Most have shed their antlers already.If he is still holding on to them he is late to the party. Its nice to see them in the yard. We have deer, rabbits, fox and a coyote that visits regularly.

The picture of the buck is from oct.
The deer are in my yard thick......every night.... eating my plants and shrubs...and the ivy growing all around and up my pine trees.

Im okay with that ....but the coyotes will get shot if i get a chance.
Had to rescue my small dog once already. Wife hollered while i was in the shower that two "dogs" were messing with our dog that she had let out just before daylight. I bolted out the back door without getting dressed or even shoes and intervened just in time by scooping up my dog and scaring the crap out of the two coyotes about to pounce on him.
Im sure I left a long lasting impression on them...but theyre dead if and when they return.
