I live in an urban subdivision just south of St. Louis County in Missouri. Our subdivision is very large and the houses have average size yards and all are fenced. The past few years I’ve been occasionally finding deer poop in our yard. This year our bird feeder has been getting emptied every night and I suspected deer or raccoons. So this past August I finally decided to buy a cheap ($36 sale price) trail cam. It works better than I expected considering the price point.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had more than one deer coming into our yard. I know a fence isn’t much of a challenge for a deer but by my estimate they have to jump 5 fences to get to my backyard.
Here are a couple of pictures from the trail cam this month. The first picture is a momma deer with her two fawns from this spring. One of the fawns is a button buck. Last night I was surprised to find a really nice buck had come into our yard.
