Osage snack

osage outlaw:
It's been a very wet summer here.  The osage fruit seems to be ahead of schedule for this time of year and weighing down the limbs.  The deer are taking advantage of it and gobbling up the leaves.  From my observations, osage leaves are one of their favorite things to eat.  I took a few pictures from the house over the last couple of days.




I stepped outside to take a picture of this hickory board for Bubby's new facebook page about board bows.  The doe in the background didn't even care I was there.




They will often stand on their hind legs to reach the leaves. 




I've started mowing the small field next to our yard.  The clover is slowly taking it over.  I'm seeing more deer from our house than ever before.  Next year I would like to sow the entire field with some kind of clover seed.

Nice pictures Clint. Love watching them stand up on their hind legs and feed.

In my yard they eat every osage leaf they can reach. It would be really nice if I could train them to eat the thorns.
