1. Every couple days
2. Anywhere from 2 to 4. They are eating and walking the property (I believe they nest in the shrubbery on the neighbor’s property). Every year we have at least one mom with twins regularly coming through. It is rare that we will see a young buck on the property. In 11 years, I’ve only seen one 6-point buck hang around and eat for a day.
3. When they come – usually once a day for about 1/2 hour. Twice a day when the mom(s) have babies.

1. Several times a week, at dusk or at night.
2. Usually two at a time, and they are munching and then crossing the street.
3. When I drive by they are startled and start to run away.

1. Morning and evening—sometimes after dark
2. three or four with two fawns.eating grass and plants.They like violets and Moreas.Our back yard is fenced but there is space on the outside for them to get through to open space areas They often lie down under the Pine trees behind our fence.
3. Sometimes they only stay for a short time but when it is hot stay longer under the trees.
