This big doe looks like she is ready to drop anytime.

I posted this in the pictures of spring thread. If you look at the doe? She has a huge growth or balls ( if it's a buck )

So yesterday in my back yard I see what I believe to be the same deer without the fawn and there it is again, that huge sack between the back legs. I looked and did not any signs of antlers but maybe it's to early. If it is a doe she got something funky going on that I have never seen, if it is a buck he is going to be a real ball dragger.
Anyone seen this before?

I think I’ll build them an Arc...

Honestly, I’m not sure what to do at this point. Besides leave them alone. Minerals just keep getting washed away. Not enough deer in my area to fill the feeder. Just feeds the coons... Looking like another year of just letting things happen naturally in hopes of a rebound. Feels helpless

Do you have cameras at the mineral site?

Mineral blocks would stick around for a while and they're cheap. Add the granular mineral once it starts calming down with the rain.

For me to make a mineral area that would t be under water, it would be within eyesight of the house. Eyesight of my dogs...my neighbors dogs...seems counterproductive to me.
