So, deer have basically taken over Ithaca. There are deer all over the place here! We see deer most every morning and evening that we are outside. The other night Mike pointed out a deer right out our bedroom window.
And, one morning on a run/walk we were 50 yards from a deer on the road,
and it did not hurry away. These Deer are not afraid of anyone, they don't stay in the trees and spook easily like Idaho deer, they graze in backyards and on the side of the rode like there is NO hunting season. O, yea.. That is exactly why they are in everyone's yards, there is no hunting here.
Apparently Ithaca is with deer how India is with cows.
We love us some deer up here! (;
I do think they are cool to have all over but I guess the increase in deer is actually hurting the environment. There are a lot of car wrecks caused by the deer and a lot of farmers have a hard time keeping deer out of their crops.
What a different world and kind of things to deal with then what I was used to in Idaho and Utah. Crazy huh!??
{{All of these deer were seen within 5 mins. and two blocks of our apt.}}
This is fun. I bet the boys love seeing all the deer. It will save you on zoo passes. (O: I am so glad you are having a good adventure!!!
ReplyDeleteCool. Sad that they are such a problem. I think mom is right, your boys are loving it.
