We have owned our property for almost 20 years and have lived on it for 16. We have been blessed with a magnificent display of nature during those years. I have filmed and now have digital documentation of this since we have lived here. These are not pets, but are very wild and are only comfortable with familiarity of the sounds they hear around here daily. We have 18 ac and are surrounded by like sized properties.I do not condone the feeding of wildlife in city neighborhoods, which causes overpopulation and starvation. We only supplement their protein in the drought stricken conditions we have suffered and our population has been stable. Amazingly, we have a near natural 50/50 population of bucks to does, due to many years w/o hunting pressure. Don't get me wrong, I am not against hunting and have hunted most of my life. However, I am for good game management practices and believe that past harvesting ideals have promoted a departure away from the natural state. I have never harvested an animal from my place with the exception of predators, when they become habituated.
