Guest Wes Report post Posted December 19, 2007 I have done the same thing. Taken my niece and nephews out to see the deer. I wasn't able to get them to the window as the kids were moving around too much but they did come close to get my carrot that I tossed to them. The kids think it is funny watching the fawn try and eat a big carrot. Nothing wrong with that, on the mission. I wouldn't do it in the wild. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TerryK Report post Posted December 20, 2007 For what it's worth, I've seen guys roll up to the Mission marsh with a pickup full of apples and shovel about 500 lbs of them on the ground for the deer. There are many people who buy 100lb bags of deer feed and dump it out there which is why there are so many. I see no problem with feeding these particular deer. They would have little fear of man even if they weren't being fed. They are born into a world where people and traffic are part of their surroundings. They know no different. Just my opinion.

Guest Wes Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Has anyone seen limpy lately? Limpy is a small buck with an injury to a hind right leg. He was carrying it off the ground while mobile. Not sure how he was hurt. I can guess either a vehicle or fence. I wonder if he could survive with that type of injury. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big Moose Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Haven't seen that one but I did see one with it's front leg all curled up looked like a birth defect to me... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest canuck Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Sounds like it is time for the City and the MNR to look at thinning out the herds to stop defects and causing any further problems with vehicle/deer incounters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dan Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Nice Deer photos Moose. I love going to the island with my camera. Not only for the of Deer, but I also enjoying photographing Leopard Frogs, which are increasing more difficult to find these days. I had to back up to get all of this guy in the frame. And I had to get really close to get this guy in the frame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fishinbuddy Report post Posted December 20, 2007 I have never been to Mission Island before but I think my next trip to the city I will go there with my wife. Just to show her the animals. I think she will go nuts with the camera and want to make it a place to visist every trip. Fishinbuddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gone8to1248 158 Report post Posted December 21, 2007 Nice pictures guy's. I wish I could figure out how to post some of the ones I have taken at my home and up in Canada. I enjoy have flocks of Wild Turkeys and herds of deer in my yard. In the spring and early summer I have families of Fox that put thier dens in my yard for thier young because they know the're safe here. I have pictures of lines of Raccoons that come right in the house and go to thier feed bowls and eat at night and then go back outside afterwards. I have video clips of me sitting there watching TV and the racoons walking right and up to me and taking cookies out of myhand and then taking it outside to eat them. I've got video movies of the Bears from up there and me in the picture. One film I'm actually surrounded by 5 BIG bears just west of Thunder Bay. And do I feed them? You bet I do! And they will come right up to me and sit there while I put out thier feed dish's and when I back away they walk up and eat and then walk away. Foolish? Maybe. Fun and interesting? YES! Do I expect YOU to do it? NO! It's something I enjoy and I don't fear them and I don't want them to fear me. We all have to live together. Now if I saw Big Foot, what would I do? Probrably go home and put on a clean pair of shorts and then grab the camera and go get some pictures and figure out how to inter-mingle with it! LOL If someone would like to post some pictures for me I would be happy to send them to you. I would even send ssome of my wall of fame as my friends call it. It's some of the animals I have bagged over the years when I hunted. Turkeys,Bears,wolves fully mounted plus Caribou, deer bucks with some nice racks. many places have petting zoo's for kids where they can actually walk around with the animals and pet and feed them. It is a good trainning and learnning experience for kids in my mind. Bernie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech 2 Report post Posted December 21, 2007 There was a buck with a broken leg the last two years. I haven't been there ( even though I'm walking distance from the island)to see if he's still around.Here's his pic plus a few others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil 26 Report post Posted December 21, 2007 Very nice pictures, I agree with Big Moose. Whats the big deal with posting pictures of the beauty of nature and that regardless of where it is,we are so lucky to see. I understand that it is not like being way back in the bush from any human contact but the city of Thunder Bay is an unbelievable place of beauty and one who argues any picture it (regardless of it's location ) should be ashamed.
