We have a few families with four babies, one buck and three females that come and eat three times a day.  They get super close and I’ve had the privilege of hand feeding Louie, the buck.  It’s an amazing feeling and Blessing getting to know these majestic animals.

Just to add a little bit on fawns. Bucks will stay about a year & most less with mom & she will literally run them off. Time for them to join the bachelor group, at the bottom!  I've personally never seen a one year old buck with mom. Does on the other hand may spend their entire life in small groups with mother.💕 In the south usually born in late May or June, up north & colder regions its sooner bc they obviously mate sooner & they need as much time as possible to grow to survive the colder winters. 
Enjoyed the video you did a great job!👍

Great video Ben, and an amazing species! I love seeing them out in open fields in the early morning. Keep up the fantastic work!

@Matthew-00

I have rather enjoyed watching your production quality jump up drastically these past couple years. Great work and keep it up!

@camandtateoutdoors2439

Awesome video! Your videos are very informative and enjoyable! Keep up the amazing videos, I can’t wait till the next video!

@seththomas9036

Thank you for the informative video Ben!

@TheWildlifeBrothers

I had no idea that the White-tailed Deer had such a storied conservation history, the idea that there were once few of these iconic animals left is really mind-blowing. I see hundreds of deer every summer, their population is astonishing in my region. This video really makes me appreciate that fact more. Great work Ben!

Fantastic Ben!  Kenny is a deer hunter, but he respects the beauty of the beast.

@scubadiverderek9776

Great video, Ben! This video was awesome, and I can tell you put effort and time into creating this video. This video was like a documentary, and you did a good job, but I especially liked the ecology part! Super great video, happy holidays!

@stevencartlidge6574

Great video Ben. We love our deer here. We feed them corn every night all year long. We have several generations show up every day.

I was a bit surprised by a buck.  I tossed an apple to one.  The deer started to leave thinking I was trying to scare it off.  I called to it, and pointed at the apple.  I didn't know if it would understand, but it came back when I called, and ate it.  However, two days later, there were two in our yard.  I fed another buck, and it didn't mind me hanging out with it so close recording it.  I also feed chipmunks by hand as well.  I love wildlife.

This was a good comprehensive videos thanks

@blackie1of4

Another great video packed with tons of information ☺️
Thank you Ben 😊
I definitely appreciate what deer mean to my home state of Pennsylvania.  Throughout the generations of hunters.. the $ for licenses was used to purchase land. Pennsylvania is top three in United States for it's game land purchases. This land is established and set aside to allow future generations to enjoy the outdoors. Not just for hunting but numerous recreational activities. All native species gained habitat due to the iconic whitetail deer!
I'd ask anyone who enjoys wildlife.. yet doesn't like hunters.. to at least appreciate the amount of $$$ spent which has allowed everyone to enjoy the great outdoors in their respective home state :)

@cnnroutside

Such a beautiful animal!

@JovialJudgment

Txs for this

@michaelfisher1390

What kind of production team do you have? Is it just you and your wallet? These vids are great, educational, and help people see the amazing stuff in their own back yards. I'm wondering what would happen if you had a good sized budget.

@vrushalimagare457

Nice information

@abelmantor7557

I'd always see these gentle creatures at eagle creek park. Such a beautiful sight ❤️ 🦌🦌.

@thecandyman9308

Messaging from just across the border in southern VA and have a small family of deer around my back porch and the neighborhood is getting more developed and it seems with each passing season I'm seeing them more and more (now about every other day whereas 5 years ago it was maybe once or twice/mo) and with more varying times of day as I fear they're running out of room to graze. 
Out of some deep-seated compassion I've started to pick up apples at the local Earth Fare when on discount and cut them up into quarters and thrown them behind the house for them to treat themselves upon. Think this is okay to do? 
I hate for them to be encroached to the point where I sometimes see them twice in one day, as developers put up dense dwellings in the fields where they used to graze upon in isolation even 10 years ago.

When I was much younger and lived in a small farming community in South Jersey I would hike behind the farm and see huge herds of White Tails. Anywhere from 15 to 30 at one time. I’d scare up coveys of Quail, see Grouse, many other forest creatures we took for granted. An organization I won’t mention here stepped in and put a stop to trapping for furs. That was the beginning of a downward trend no one saw coming. Quail, Pheasant, Grouse disappeared altogether, although Turkeys made a huge comeback. Maybe because they roost in trees? Within 10 years the deer population dwindled drastically. I was lucky if I spotted three in a field. I raised some Ring Neck Pheasant for the State after and released over 200 each Fall. But to no avail. It saddens me. Greatly.
