He was under the window because he had just been over to the side of the house to see if the gate was open again. Smart guy. The phone repairman left the gate open last week and Buck slipped into the back yard and made a feast of my flowers. I made my husband go out there and shoo him out again. I have all kinds of respect for those antlers, even if they're still covered in velvet.
It's funny, when I see him outside, I often see one of the neighborhood cats nearby. Curiosity? I don't know. My cats are always interested when he's near the window. Maybe they just find him as cool as I do.
This would all be unremarkable if I lived out in the woods somewhere, but I'm in suburbia. Houses all around. I think the deer will just always be here, hiding in hedges and steering clear of cars and dogs. As long as there are yummy gardens to munch on.

Holy cow! I DO live in the middle of nowhere and we never have deer that close to the house. Enjoy!
OH I love the buck :) I do dream of living in an area where I will be able to witness wild life :)
Thank you for your words on my blog, I so appreciate them :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
What a sweet looking fellow! Yes, it is always a strange treat to see one of these creatures in suburbia. One time I was driving down Ventura Blvd in Studio City (San Fernando Valley in LA)and saw a buck with a gorgeous rack just walking along. It was super late at night and my friend and I tried to shoo it toward the hills away from the cars. Truly unusual sight.
