    I've seen one here several years ago. I used to see a pair of red foxes going across the back yard every morning.

    Don't mean anything by this but they, the deer, look so small. In West Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin the places I remember they look so much bigger. Maybe I'm thinking of Elk out west but there's no comparison between the two so I doubt that. . In Miami (The Glades)the deer don't seem to get much bigger than big dogs as a rule. Does the weather effect the size of deer?

    I only have one buck who still has a single antler. I can't tell if the others have dropped or they didn't survive hunting season. In the past I have seen some buck retain their antlers into early April--but for the most part by late Feb they are gone.

    Two weeks ago in late afternoon there were 14 grazing below the barn, that is the most I have seen together in many years. The "herd" seems to commonly float between 7 and 11.

    You might be thinking of Mule Deer.
