Draw Deer into your Yard!
Jul 1st, 2007 by Jasper
I live in the country and am blessed with an abundance of wildlife, but probably my most favorite to watch is deer in my front yard. They come around daily and I actually have gotten to know them as individuals and they are like friendly neighbors. The young fawns are like little clowns, playing, leaping and jumping bringing such a feeling of joy. Setting out on the deck with a cup of coffee and the ultimate entertainment is such a great way to start the day!
I entice them to my yard with much needed mineral blocks and loose mineral just poured on the ground. It gives them a much needed boost making them healthier plus keeps them coming back. I also put out apples and corn as the seasons roll around. My oak trees help too with acorns which deer love! I have patches of clover and alfalfa planted as a tasty snack too.
Deer are such beautiful graceful animals why not set up your own little patch of heaven for them!
