Had some visitors today. These are almost daily visitors who like to come near homes and eat all the leaves from any kinds of the bushes. You can see these beautiful animals with their packs of up to 7 sometimes, pretty much every day.
People actually have a problem with the urban deer here in Penticton because they will come into your yard and right into the door to eat all the flowers (during summer time)you have planted or any tree with leaves.
This little guy was chewing on something, but we couldn't figure out what it was.
These Penticton deer are not very afraid of people. The sad thing about having these animals living in town Penticton and nearby is that there are so many car accidents and the poor animals get their legs broken sometimes or get killed. Usually, in town the deer does not get killed but they suffer from being hit by the cars and lots of times you can see the deers limping.
There are also a lot of accidents on the highways where the deer does usually die, but a lot of times even the drivers die too.
You can see more of them here together feeding on the trees. As you can see on this picture they always stay in groups.

Aww they are so cute :( so sad about the accidents tho
@joalvarez that is serious snow am seeing, the place must be really cold.
Are deers edible?
Yes, we got quite a bit of snow, but this is nothing yet compare to the rest parts of Canada. We don't get much snow here and not too cold. We are in the 2 or more degrees these days, but for few nights it was like -10 degrees which is like the coldest for Penticton.
Other parts of Canada were like -38 degrees, which is very, very cold. Yuck.
Yes deers are edible and actually very healthy meat since all they eat is greens and live wild, but I believe there are hunting seasons for people who go hunting.
You are not allowed to hunt/kill them in town so they are pretty safe here but not very safe from the trafic which kills a lot of them which is sad.
Ok. Stay warm @joalvarez.
WOW...beautiful..welcome to use the tag #dailypetphotography !
