Moose Monday - Deer Checking out the Horses

Here is a curious deer checking out the farm horses for this #moosemonday by @shasta

Last week I went to a local farm to get some honey and ended up taking pictures of the animals and hiking a bit on some trails around the farm. This deer was on the edge of the horse fields looking at me and the horses.

It was sort of dark in the forest here and the photos ended up a bit blurry. But I caught the funny expressions of the deer spying on the strange draft horses out in the open field.

This big guy was licking the salt unaware of the deer spying on it.

What on earth is that horse licking over there. I kind of want to go and give it a try. If you leave salt licks out in the forest you will get deer instinctively looking for salt. Perhaps this gal was waiting for an opportunity to run out in the field and get a lick of that salt.

Horse heard a rustle in the weeds. Is it that strange forest cow coming to take my salt lick again?

The white horse was even closer to the deer on the edge of the field. It didn't seem to care about the deer at all.

In the end the deer chickened out and never ventured out to get a lick of the salt block.

It was funny catching its expressions while observing the huge draft horses. This little gal was probably not even half the size of those horses.

This guy's head is almost half the size of a human. There would be no way a skinny deer could challenge this guy for his salt block.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
