They very rarely show themselves. And if they do, it is very very late at night under the cover of darkness. I will ask about if the number of deer has decreased or increased. I do not know the answer to that question.Martiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408224771051700388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360078501015636617.post-37369746405104246582011-03-13T16:26:14.350-04:002011-03-13T16:26:14.350-04:00Wow, what an education you've provided about o...Wow, what an education you've provided about our elusive deer population.
