Our little deer here are really sweet, even though they eat nearly everything in sight.
I've had family back East mention that our deer here must get really large because there is no scarcity of food in the winter.
I just couldn't let them down by telling them that a good size buck here will dress out at a measly 175 lbs or so.
The scarcity of food here happens in the summer. Large animals are not well suited to semi-desert chapparell areas.
When I filmed this video Vickie and I were travelling with a skunk I'd trapped in a box in the truck. We saw the deer and decided to film her, and a neighbor stopped to speak to Vickie. I tried to pawn the skunk off on her, but she either did not hear me, or was politely ignoring my offer of a 'free' skunk.
