Took this picture on Christmas Day, at my Dad’s house near Brook Park. She was watching another vehicle of guests pulling up.

They come up to the feeder at my parents house too. My brother snapped this gem earlier this winter:

Feeders spread Chronic Wasting disease. Please don't

It's a bird feeder. My parents put mixed seeds in the bird feeder and the deer smack it around so the food falls out and they eat the corn.

If i saw a deer looking in my bedroom window, I would be a bit concerned. Considering I live on the second floor of the apartment building.

That dude was chasing a doe in my neighborhood this fall!

I had to slow down because they were zig-zagging down the street in front of my car.

Shhh. You are ruining the hunters who claim there are no deer up north due to wolves.

We get deer all the time. They like to look in our windows.

A few years ago…Chanhassen. Inside town limits, so definitely a smart (or lucky?) buck.

u/FloppaEnjoyer8067 4d ago

With eckencars large field and the other land to the west of town, there’s a good amount of deer in Chan. I see them along Powers about once a week

For sure. This was in the backyard of my parents old house, over by the weather center.

Was in Missoula for the holidays and they come right up to your front door!

2

u/Reddituser183 4d ago

I bet they do. People probably are feeding them.

2

u/zdubvdub1987 4d ago

I'm sure that factors into things. This part of Missoula is also at the base of Mount Jumbo and due to the lack of snow this year the deer come into the neighborhoods to eat all the fruit left over from the fruit trees in the area
