Uh Oh!! BUSTED!!
I couldn't figure out why my bird feeder was literally being wiped out of bird seed in a short time frame. Til I peeked out and saw this White Tailed deer merrily munching at the feeder of the bird seed.
I've seen him appear before, a 6 point buck, at the feeder, and just before deer season back in late November. I didn't see him for weeks , fearing that he got popped by a hunter.
But Claude (Kittfur named him Claude, so its Claude...any questions?) returned last night along with a doe (Kitt named her Hilda) and they emptied the feeder of seed within minutes.
I may have to bring in the feeder at night to avoid having a few days worth of bird seed wiped out by a hungry deer. But Claude is a brazen buck, showing up at day time now.
Still cool seeing a deer in the front yard.

He looks in good condition. Brazen is the sole condition of the deer anymore. They come right into the inner city. I saw a buck that had been hit by a car along the Southfield freeway, in the heart of west Detroit.
Deer, rabbit, fox, opossum, coon, I have seen, or seen sign of all of these right in my neighborhood in east Dearborn.

I saw a 12 point buck within 100 yards of the state capital back in December, standing in the middle of the street. Bastard actually wouldn't move and lowered his rack towards me as if in challenge. He knew he was safe downtown, no hunters or predators. Safe bet he had a few girls in the area as well.
Then again a few years ago DNR recorded and tracked a mountain lion from South Dakota, that traveled through Minnesota, into Wisconsin and wound up south in Chicago outside O'Hare in the forest there. Til some dumbass Chicago Police officer emptied his magazine into him when he came across the cat munching on a deer. Cop just panicked and killed the lion instead of calling for animal control.

Nope, not gonna upset 
Kittfur by popping off the deer she named.

Suburban coyotes. Here in the Boston area we just had a series of coyote attacks by a suspected rabid coyote. Coyote attacked a kid that was out walking with dad (I think mom was there too.) after coyote bit the kid and dad, dad ended up choking it to death. Everyone (except the coyote) is getting rabies shots while awaiting lab tests on deceased coyote.
Usually the coyotes stay hidden from people. I hear them at night calling to each other sometimes, but rarely catch sight of one. See the tracks in the snow after every snowstorm of all the little furry critters living around my house. We had a deer that would lay up against our house behind shrubbery for a few years. I'd see the flat spot where they would bed down.

I have coyotes where I live as well, usually a small pack of around a half dozen. Some nights I can hear them calling out and partying like no tomorrow.
Back when I still lived south of CDO, I would have coyotes party hard , usually at the expense of one of the neighbors down the street numerous cats they allowed to roam at night (They had by their own admittance around 60-80 cats, mostly feral). So it was a almost daily dine-in for the coyotes to nail a cat and kick on the radio to the coyote channel and have a BBQ. In the morning I would find a cat collar in the street and bits of fur usually at my end (The dark side of the complex). I would add the now empty collar to the lamp post as a sign. I eventually had over 40 collars to that post in under 2 years. Plus the damn cats would pick a fight with my iguana in the back yard. The lizard took out 3 cats over the time frame (Though the third cat raked him good to where to had to take him to the vet for stitches). A six foot iguana will seriously damage and or kill a cat if challenged.
I wouldn't see another cat Vs Iguana battle til I moved north, when my 7.5 foot male, George, took out a feral cat that attacked him. Quickly dispatching the cat with a reptile roll, effectively tearing its throat out and breaking the neck. George also required stitches as the cat pounced him first. After that, no iguanas were allowed outside unsupervised, and the last semi attack was against my largest female, Orange Bitch, who tail whipped a feral across the eyes, sending it away quickly. Funny thing was birds would land on the large lizards and pick at their skin or play with their crests, the lizards did nothing to the birds. But of a redtailed hawk would show up, the iguanas kept a very wary eye on the hawk and head towards safety.

I kind of have mixed feelings about the deer where I live. I'm going to die, yet because of them. If people wonder what I mean. Several situations. I wish I had a picture of, or videotape footage. I've got my own personal Heard of female dear, that's been sticking around my property for years, I've yet to see a Pair of antlers in the area. Between walking out the side door of the house and nearly walking face-to-face in the one and them getting in front of my vehicle is the kind of things I'm talking about. I don't hate Them I just don't want to run into one.I keep having cars in front of me. It dear, as well.
I live in southeastern Connecticut in the Burbs -- a dead-end street at the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere. I get John Deer, Jane Doe and all the Bambis in the yard pretty consistently. When I head out to work, they'll stand ten feet or less from the walk, and just glare at me like they own the place. They'll prance around outside the dog fence and tease the mutts anytime.
