Oh wow - those are awesome. I like the last one! That deer seemed to be pretty interested in your peafowl! How funny.

Thanks everyone.
I have 4 peas. The trio with the deer are 2 males (The white one is a male) and one female. My other female would rather hang with the chickens.

That freaked me out becasuse my name is Loren, too.

We live on Puget Island which is inhabited by the Lower Columbia White Tail deer, which is a Federally Endangered Species. So, we cannot cause them injury so we need very good deer fencing around the garden!

Loren is a great name! I think it means "little twig” or something like that. I named my son after my Grandfather, Loren Ingvaul. But my son's middle name is Michael after his father’s middle name. My grandfather’s parents came over from Norway so that is where the Loren Ingvaul came from. I could not curse my American born son with the Norwegian name "Ingvaul". That is a little too much. The only draw back to having named him Loren is that people like to spell it “Lauren” like the girls name or think he is a girl if they have not met him.

We will be putting deer fencing around the garden, eventually, if we can ever get a garden to grow! The lack of sun around here makes me feel like I should be living on beach front property, but I am NOT!!

aw, that's SO CUTE!
The peacocks are like: "whoa dude, get offa my turf or I'll have to... ummm.... well, I geuss you can stay..."
Deer: "?"
Peacock: "Yeah, that's right, oooh, I'm REAL scared now..."
Deer: "?"
Peacock: "Oh, so you think you can scare me by lookin' big an' soft, huh? Not a chance, mister, not a chance..."
Deer: "?"
Peacock: "So why don't you turn your little white butt around and go home?!"
Deer: "?"
Peacock: "Humph. Some people have no communication skills. I'll sign it out for you-" (signs out GO HOME NOW) "How do ya like me now, huh deer?"
Deer: "?" (thoughts: This guy is really obnoxious. I'm going home to my mommy.)
Peacock: "Yeah, an' STAY THERE!!!!"
Other peacock (the hippy white one): "Cool it, dude. Have some herbal tea and lie down. Meditate on the boundaries of counciesness..."
Blue Peacock: "Whatever. I'm gonna go find some chicks. I mean peahens. Whatever."

Deer, safely home: Mommy, I saw a strange bird today. It was blue and did sign language.
Mama deer: That was an iguana, honey. Why don't you have some warm milk and lie down?

Deer are incredible animals. I used to deer hunt, don’t anymore. I realized it was the getting together with people and the camaraderie between friends I enjoyed, not the hunting itself. Now we fish. However I’ve seen some amazing things when I was in the woods.

I was never one of those trophy guys. I was a meat hunter through and through. I actually think killing the bigger bucks hinders the population by depleting the gene pool. I’ve passed up several deer most guys would have shot me for instead of the deer.

The most amazing memory I have in the field was of a nice 6 point I passed up. He was walking nearly silently over ground that was covered with dry leaves. I have no idea how they do that. Anyway, he was moving from my left to right about 30 yards in front of me and the wind was blowing in my face. It would be a dream shot. Unfortunately I’d used my buck tag on a nice 4 point the first day and only had my doe permit. I was just going to let him go. I didn’t move a muscle. I was hardly even breathing. Then when he was about even with me he stopped, sniffed the ground, then looked straight ahead again. All the sudden you could see it come over him like a chill. His neck bristled and he put his nose to the ground again. Then slowly but very deliberately he turned his head and locked his eyes on mine. He nailed me dead to rights. You wanna talk ESP, sixth sense, whatever; deer have it. I made no noise whatsoever. The wind was in my face. I had walked in behind me. There was no way this deer could know I was there. Yet he did. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

cajunlizz,
How does he compete with "Alpacas of America"? They are here in WA too. They must have 5 or 6 thousand head. Amazing.
I would love an Alpaca someday. Add it to my list
