Ep. 14: My Deer Friends and New Fawns!!! June 2018
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- From a cold April, to a very wet May, and ending June in a blaze of heat, my deer friends still love to stop by for a nice corn snack, or an apple. The mommas have now given birth. Elly had triplets....again! I saw Marcie with her two new twins. And Momma had a new fawn, too. I am anxiously waiting for them to bring the little ones up to meet me.
As you can see at the end of the video. I lost one of my very dear "deer friends". The triplets will let me get withing 3' of them...but they are still nervous. If I can get them up to me, I will try bottle feeding them to help them grow.
"One of the greatest things about life is that you never know what will happen next. It keeps you on your toes, and keeps you from getting bored." ~~~Me
I follow the DNR guidelines closely for recreational feeding.

I want to offer my condolences for your loss of Elly. It must be heartbreaking losing her after spending 3 years watching not only her grow but also her family. You are a wonderful man for doing what you do.
I have had to see this video three times. And I have 57 years. Congratulations
It is one of my favorite videos of my deer friends, even though the ending is sad. Elly was quite the special friend to me, and it gives me a chance to remember her and how trusting she was with me. :-)))))
Life is tough! I almost didn't have the nerves to view this episode... So good to know that Elly Mae and Birdie pulled through
Hi Peter! All is good. It was tough to lose Ely, but her little ones did quite well. Elly Mae sprouted buttons (antlers) 6 months late, and all that time I thought he was a girl! LOL I had to rename him Eli, and he and Birdie continued to come visit me almost every day. :-)))
it's nice to know there are still some good people left in this world
Thank you, Terry :-)
aaaww how sad. Your videos bring joy and sadness. They are very beautiful and you are an angel.
I am just a simple person. The angels are these beautiful creatures that stop by to visit each day. ;-)
@@flyfish0822 I agree. They're beautiful and loving and inspiring. You will be blessed for your works.
Very touching.
Thank you! :-)))
Great video, thank you for sharing!
Hi my friend! I am glad you enjoyed this video! Enjoy your week! :-))))
@@flyfish0822 Keep sharing!
So lovely💚💙
Thank you! :-)))
Where I live that would not be a good idea. On the rare occasion I find a fawn and raise it, I do my best to teach it to stay in a 100 yd of my house. I have been fortunate so far.
Hi Toby. I am glad to hear you take care of the little ones when in trouble. When Elly passed in late June, her 3 triplets were only 3 weeks old and struggled. They were afraid of everything, and it was very difficult to get close to them. Thank goodness, my neighbors pitched in to help feed them, and still do. Two of the triplets, Birdie and Elly Mae, are still around and come to visit me for a snack. Little Wrigley disappeared in late August. We don't know what happened to him. If you haven't seen this video, this was during a critical time when the triplets were very small and skinny and we were trying to keep them fed.

Hope you are having a good week! :-))))
Quando o homem se coneta com a natuŕeza, ele se coneta com Deus e se encontra na perfeita paz e harmonia
Bem haja
Essa é uma maneira muito bonita de explicar, meu amigo! :-))))
Cos pieknego ....az łza kreci sie w oku ... .
Cześć Monika. :-) Bardzo smutno było stracić Elly. Dwa z jej trojaczków odwiedzają mnie codziennie. Wszystkiego najlepszego! :-))))
Dr Doolittle animals everywhere 😀
❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
I was so sad I cried, I now you will show her baby’s the same love that you showed her. You’re an amazing man
THE MUSIC AND EDITORIAL DOES NOT HELP
i am so glad he is alive!
RedneckSpaceMan sorry English is not my first language but thank you for correcting me
That is truly so beautiful! Humans should respect animals. There certainly aren't enough people like you. You are a wonderful, wonderful person! May God bless you and your backyard friends!
Thank you for such kind words, Rose Ann! I still have quite a few that come visit me almost every day, and have so much fun with them! :-)))))))
we need more people like him
This was so sad to see Elly go, but so beautiful that you take such kind and loving care of them all. Thank you so much.
Hi Leisa! Yes, that was a very sad time. It was even harder knowing that she had 3 little fawns out there without her. Thank goodness, I got them to come up and eat some apple pieces, and the good neighbors would put out food for them. Two of the triplets come visit me every day now (more recent videos). They are healthy and doing great! I have a new video premiering tomorrow evening (Sunday, August 4) at 9PM EST if you would be interested in joining us to view it. ;-)

What a blessed life! How wonderful. Heavenly!
I am so touched by your tender heart and extraordinary kindness. Your place is amazing...what an incredible blessing to have the opportunity to interact with these beautiful creatures. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Kitty. Thank you so much for your kind words! I do feel blessed to have such amazing friends that come to see me each day.:-))))))))
I feel kind of guilty about eating deer meat
Good day to you sir.Your kind heart is felt by these animals.No doubt you are blessed.Wish people are like you.
I would like to know the title of the music in the background.It's breathtaking to hear. and tears me up coz it's perfect for the video
Thank you.
I am touched by your tender heart to see this man's tender heart :-) wishing you every blessing.
It's wonderful job
I'm crying my eyes out right now for Elly and her triplets- it's just so incredibly awesome and wonderful that you are so truly blessed that they trust you enough to be so close with you!:) But it's also so so sad and just heartbreaking that her babies had to lose their mom so young like that...and it makes me so sad thinking of them walking around crying for her and having to fend for themselves everyday when they're just babies. Thank goodness they've got you looking out for them the way you do- you're a wonderful human being! Thanks for sharing:)
Hi Randi! I know. It was gut-wrenching losing Elly, then seeing her tiny triplets crying every day. Little Wrigley disappeared back in late August. I am not sure if he just moved on, or if something happened to him. Eli and Birdie come to visit me every day now (more recent videos). They are healthy and doing great! Thank you for your nice comments, and I wish you a great week! :-))))
OMG the tears are just flowing out of me. I feel so bad about Elly. She loved and trusted you so much. She showed you how thankful she was to you. I wish all the best for her babies. I'm sorry Sir. May she rest in peace. I just loved her. Again, she did love you so much. Your bond was incredible.
I know.....it was very hard to lose Elly. She was my favorite, and we had a very special bond. I miss her every day. :*-(
Spiritual Love♥
:*( ... so sad. I'm so sorry for their loss and for yours. she was/is eternally beautiful.
So sad to see she is gone. You're an amazing person. Keep up the good work with these animals. I would love to be in your position feeding them everyday and spending time with them
I feel so bad about Elly passing away. But, she loved and fully trusted you sir. The bond between the two of you was so strong. You were there for her in her time of need and helped her out and she showed you how grateful she was for that. May she rest in peace.
You are a Very very sweet person! Thank you for the videos! I love all animals and thank you for sharing!!
Hi Nicole. Thank you, and I'm glad you like them! Enjoy your week! :-)))
Thank you for such a tender and heart warming video. I am fortunate, being raised close to nature, with all its beauty. Your video brings back so many wonderful memories.
Now that is how human beings are supposed to live. Connected to nature with love and respect!
What an incredible feeling I get when they walk up to me and trust me like this! It took a long time to get to this point.....but I cherish it every day now. :-)))))

flyfish0822 Those Of us that get to experience the friendship of our wild neighbors are blessed.
The agony for me, is that where I live, the worst of the worst; come and kill them.
Deer, Fox, Bob Cats,
Whistling Ground squirrels, whom were trusting of me.
Yes you are right
Beautiful!! The music, the scenery.. Oh, I'm so wanting to be there..I recognize this music! "My Dog Skip!" Excellent choice!! I was listening and reading so intently, and then the part of Elly came up.. Oh, so sad! I know you miss her!
Yes, I miss Elly. She was a special friend. "My Dog Skip".....the first time I heard the music, I knew I had to use it in a video. The music just brings everything to life! Have a great weekend! :-)
Man this is heaven.
You just can't help loving them, so sad for Elly she was very sweet. Thank you for being so kind with animals I wish I had the same luck to live in the country side so close to nature. Bless you!!
Hi my friend! Yes, losing Ely was tough since she had been coming to see me for so long. I still have many others that come up each day (more recent videos), and they can keep me very busy in the mornings and evenings. Thank you for your nice comments, and I hope you get the chance to do this one day! :-)))))
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos of God’s little creatures and for taking care of all of them. Your place is a beautiful wildlife sanctuary where they feel cared for, loved and respected. Seeing that Elly is gone and her babies no longer have their mom is sad but it’s wonderful that you took her place and nurtured and helped them grow. You have a loving heart for God’s creatures.
Hi Linda! it makes me happy when someone notices how special these animals are. I am lucky that they have allowed me to spend a few minutes each day with them. thank you for such nice comments, and enjoy your week! :-)))
Is 11:6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” There is coming a day when all of Gods nature will be at peace. When sin is no longer here.
Hi Todd. Very true. What a beautiful place it shall be. :-))))
OH MY! This is the first time I've ever read this. And it wows me because ever since I've had a spiritual awakening my thought process naturally shifted to this exact ideology. So now that I see this it amazes it tells me I'm doing the right thing..
only one God not Gods maybe God's people
And my heart aches for that day to come... praise be to God Almighty.
read exodus 21
You are an angel to these beautiful wild creatures. Thanks you so much for your care and passion.
This world would be so much more peaceful if more peoples are like you. Thanks again and God bless.
Thank you for the nice comments, Grant! God's blessings! :-)))))
Oq lindo q h visto
Heaven on earth. The way things ought to be and, in your case, are. I wish all humans were as kind to our friends in nature as you. Sorry for the loss of Elly. She was amazing and you are an amazing man. This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen, and I watch Nature on PBS every chance I get. You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful place with nature.
Hi Tommy! After working with these deer for 1 1/2 years, Elly finally came up to me and let me pet her. I am not sure who was more nervous.....her or me. A special bond was formed that day. Other deer saw this bond, and started to trust me more and more. It is an exhilarating feeling to get to pet a wild deer for the first time......and gets even better when you can see they get excited to see you outside bringing them a snack. I miss Elly so. She was a huge part of this puzzle that I miss every day. Two of her orphaned fawns, Birdie and Elly Mae, still come by to see me (more recent videos)....plus, her 3 year old, Adrian, and her two young boys, Duke and Doc. I feel so blessed to be a part of their lives, if only for a few minutes each day! Enjoy your weekend! :-))))
Bless you for caring and loving all these beautiful creatures of nature.You make the world a finer place,thank you for your commitment and compassion.I am very sorry to read of your loss of Elly, May her triplets bring you comfort.
Thank you so much! I miss Elly every day. Two of her fawns have been coming up to eat and let me pet them. They are so small, but so adorable. I hpe the third one will come back up with them soon.:-)))))
Please keep up the great work that you do and thank you sir.
Hi Steven. I am glad you liked it! Thank you for the nice comments, and enjoy your weekend! :-)))
This is the promise of heaven, of paradise, the promise of love forever.
This warms my heart. I have been connecting to nature for a year now, and I love the deer. I've named all of the deer around my property, but have sadly lost two. One is Snowy, a fawn, and the other Big Mama. She will live on as the largest female deer, and a wonderful mother to all of her 8 sets of babies💞🦌
Hi Sydney! I know how hard it is to lose one of these beautiful animals, especially after you have grown attached to them. Two years ago, I lost quite a few of my close friends to the hunters. Last year, I didn't lose any and was so relieved! Wow....a momma with 8 sets of babies!
Videos like this show the power of God in creation. When God gave man domain over animals and the beast of the fields, not to dominate them, but to love and care for them unconditionally!
So true!
I just cannot believe that in the 20th Century, let alone the 21st, weak people still seem to honestly feel the need to have a religion and believe in the story that the is such a thing as a god! Religion was invented to “explain” (in the absence of science) the unknown and keep people in their place. It is shocking that America is still so religious compared to secular Europe!
The bible tells us to eat them
♥
@@AlexEssex8 And that is exactly why Europe is going down the toilet. If you choose not to believe in God that's your business but stop trying to lead other people astray.
5th time watching,and the 5th time very impressed, my deer friend. What you have is special and more humans should reach out,I do God bless you,
Hi Paul. I am happy you like the videos! :-)))))))))))
Amazing creatures, aren't they? I don't feed my wild deer friends, but after 20 years of respectfully acknowledging my local wild deer family, I have been welcomed as a buddy, they are busy animals with schedules and are keen on routines. I've trained some in the past how to cross streets safely/ calmly BEHIND cars. Joy to see passed down generations! They enjoy being able to relax, not have to be stressed. I try not to make direct foreward facing contact with them, less predatory/aggressive stance. Nice to sit & relax with them, sweet that they wait to see me, that momma left fawns w/me for 4 hours this past summer😁🥰 Now in rut, everyone mingling in the fawning territory..w/agitation .. ears back, tail wag, "..ggggggggrunt.." ..nuzzle..= "I'm happy, gimme scratches buddy!" Learned so much from them, 🥰
They can be playful like a dog, as aloof as a cat.. I do all I can to be safe & keep them safe. The more I can learn, the more I can share!
Deer are my power animals. Always feed when I go to the park.. They come to the sounds of shaking my corn bag..poor Ellie.
Hi Republic. That is so cool. They come when I shake the corn in the coffee container :-))) Yes, I miss my Elly girl. She was very special.
Beautiful video. Was crying at the end with your update about Elly. Thank you for loving them all.
I feel blessed each time they come up to visit me :-)
Sorry Elly has passed. Hope her triplets are doing well.
Hi Michael. Thank you. Elly was very special. You can see her triplets in Episode 15. I have been working with them every chance I get. I will have a new video out soon with an update on the babies;-)))
I am sorry that Elly passed away. Hope her triplets are doing well
I am so sorry that Elly passed away. Was she not feeling well for sometime? Did she have some kind of a disease? Hope her triplets are doing well
Or was it a difficult birth?
So sad about Elly, I hope you can feed her fawns.
Your videos are beautiful, I love the relationship you’ve made with all the animals st your home.
Thank you, Cyndi. I miss Elly girl. She was the first to walk up and let me pet her after 1 1/2 years of feeding quite a few deer. I have only seen two of her triplets yesterday and today. Tonight, I was within 3 feet of the smallest one with a bottle of formula and it was just to shy to take those last few steps. I hope they learn to trust me enough to get them some livestock milk so they grow up big and strong. :-)))
That is very sweet the way you are with those deer....but actually you are getting them use to humans--so they have less fear--and they are !!!! Easier to kill. Just---plain old common sense. saying.
Hi Johnny. I would have thought the same thing when I began all this. What I found out amazed me. They don't trust me as a human. The trust me as some kind of nice animal to them. If anyone else come close to my yard, they run! If I am not by myself, they won't come up. I am the only thing they come up to...besides the turkeys. They know me by sight, but mostly from my voice because I talk to them the whole time I am with them. It is a very strange relationship.....respect and trust from both of us. It gives me a chance to see a very gentle side of them, and to be a part of their daily life......even if it is just 5 or 10 minutes at a time. :-)
@@flyfish0822
Very touching video. The only observation is that these beautiful creatures get used to your human touch and later they couldn't make a difference between you and a fucking imbecile that will profit and do them harm. Meanwhile, please keep on giving love and tender care to these beautiful creatures. You are my hero..!!
God Bless you . God must have been very happy. God watches us always, especially when you take care of his creatures. You are a lucky guy and again God bless you for taking care of those our friends.
That was such a sweet video. I love how they became so close to you. I could see they loved you as much as you loved them. Bless you for taking care of them
Thank you, Janice! They are all very special to me. I still have many that come to visit each day, but then, I spoil them, too. :-))))))
Oh my gosh ... I fell in love with this man's kindness and generosity and seeing all the dear little animals he has befriended but I NEVER suspected the ending. It made me burst in to tears when he said how his Elly had died. I'm a softy for a good story. This really hurt after seeing all those beautiful scenes of him stroking and loving his deer. But I'm glad Elly brought him her babies, knowing he would help keep them safe. Poor girl. He's a living Saint Francis.
Hi Silvia. Losing Elly was difficult. She had become a good friend. Her triplets have found a safe place to live down the road. I walk down multiple times a day to see if they are out and to see if they will take some food from me. They have gotten very skittish, but they are still surviving, even though they are small. :-)))
He Truly is A Soul Spirit With a Strong 6th Sence, just as the Animals Have .♥
Your videos truly touch my heart. Thank you so much for helping all those beautiful sweet animals
Thank you, Jay! I am happy you enjoy them! Have a great week! :-))))
What a sweet loving kind man! So sorry bout Elly 😢,I hope her babies grow too trust you just as their mother.
Hi Betty! thank you for your nice comments. I miss Elly girl. I am almost done with a new update to her triplets and will be posting it soon. :-)
Love your story. It is so special to have a friend who loves you and cares for your well being. I hope you continue with your great work. You have a beautiful home.
Hi George! Thank you for the nice comments! I am glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great week! :-)))
Its heartbreaking when they go. But worthwhile the time that you spend with them, because nothing is more beautiful than bonding with animals, who have nothing at stake but love, trust and a little dependence.
So true. I miss Elly every day. But I love the time I get to spend with all of them! :-)))
A safe place! He brings so much joy to this world thank you for for being an example of what all should be. 👣🐾🌎
P.S. I got teary-eyed when I read about the loss of your friend Elly girl. She knows that her fawns will always be safe in your gentle care. My deepest condolences to you and her Fawns.😟
Thank you for your kind words, Amy! Elly was a special friend who I miss each day. I hope her fawns will come see me each day. ;-)
So sweet and special,
nature at its finest..."thank you."
Hi Jane. I'm glad you liked it! :-)))))
Oh no, Elly. How old was she? She knew you loved her.
I get overwhelmed with with peace and joy when I watch your videos. I've had about twenty encounters with deer, sometimes in city areas. I remember every single one both close up and at a distance.
Thank you for these videos during these stressful times.
Hi Sonja. I am not sure how old Elly was, but I knew her for about 4 years and went through 4 sets of fawns with her. She was always very sweet when she came up to me. I am happy that my videos give you such peace and joy when you watch them. They so the same for me. I worked on a new video for a long time today, but am just part of the way done with it. it might take me another couple days to finish it. I think you will like it, too. ;-) Have a nice evening!
What a beautiful tribute. I wish you would publish more video's. The music is glorious. How are you doing today. Why did you quit posting?
Hi Angellica! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I try to average a new video every month or so. That gives me time to shoot enough footage, sort, label and crop everything, then it can take 10 to 30 hours to get a new video together to post. I have home projects to take care of in between all that. Plus, I am getting older.....and slower. LOL Last video posted was about a month ago.
You can always check here for any videos you haven't seen yet:

Hi! Yes, they are quite special to me. I have a lot of fun with them each day! :-)))))
REAL Men love Animals if a Man can kill a Deer they are EVILLLLL. Thank YOU for being an AMAZING and KIND MAN💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🥰
Oh I'm so relieved to hear that. I watch your channel often and have prayed for the triplets often. What's happening between you and your growing deer family is Truely special. You must be as well to gain their trust.
You are so blessed to have so much beautiful wildlife in your yard ❤️
Hi Sandra! They used to hide out in the woods and field, so I am thrilled that they have come to trust me enough to visit for a few minutes each day. I'm glad you enjoyed this, and wish you a great week! :-)))
I have an orphaned fawn I'm bottle feeding this year, it helped me to call to him like a doe calling for her fawn to get him to come to me and eat, seems to settle his nerves and put him more at ease..
I step out with a bottle and call and he comes out of the woods near the house for a bottle and a little grain and such, and usually some apple for dessert. Then he hangs around and licks my arms for a while while I use my hand as a tongue to groom him like a mom would do, then back to the woods where he stays.. I also walked him around nibbling at plants with my hand like a mother would do to show him what plants to eat.. I'll wean him in another couple of months.
Of course now if I'm late with the bottle he'll be right outside at the front door waiting for me. Otherwise a few doe bleats and he comes a runnin from the woods.. I have 11 acres fenced with goat fence, so he's safe in my woods till he gets old enough to jump the fence and leave on his own.
My place is full of the same wildlife, deer wild turkey and such in the yard.. I also ended up with an orphaned racoon last week, don't know what exactly to do with it yet. I think he'll have to go to a wildlife rehab this week.
That is so awesome! You are doing a wonderful thing! These triplets were so scared after losing Elly, and so difficult to even get close to them. Two of them have learned that they love apple pieces. I do the same when I pet them.....try to mimic the mom cleaning or grooming them. The one almost falls into a trance when I do it cuz it likes it so much. They had gone so long without nursing from their mom that they had little interest in a bottle, and I didn't want to grab them and force it on them so they would not lose trust in me. There are woods behind me and across the road from me, and an 11 acre field next to me. They never seem to stay in the same place and can be hard to find at times. Other times, they will see me and walk right up to me (two of them). The third one is the biggest and very nervous about getting close to me. I am hoping that when they get big enough for corn, all 3 will come up each day.
Love your story~!
Yeah this little one didn't show any interest in the bottle either for a few days, but he demands it now.. I ended up using a regular baby bottle as he didn't like the one made for animals. I would never be able to find him in the woods, but a few doe bleats always gets him to run to me. I started out just bleating softly when I gave him food until he learned my voice, copying calls I found on the internet of does bleating for their kids.. I still bleat softly to him while he's drinking from the bottle, make alert noises when cars go by on the road out front or other things he needs to be alarmed at.
They should be able to survive without milk by now but they do need that extra fuel for growth the milk gives them till about October. And fortunately he only trusts me so far and doesn't trust any other humans.. At least so far. My next challenge is to try to teach it to avoid hunters if I can..
The deer here have fawns inside my fence every year, it's kinda like a deer nursery. The fawns can't get through the fence or jump it so they stay inside the fence while mom hops the fence to go out browsing, and they just hang out in my pasture until mom comes back at dusk. usually about October the fawns realize they can jump the 4' fence and leave.I'm guessing this little buck might not leave until his first rut.
I almost forgot, I did make a little video of him.. He was pretty beat up, but most of it has filled in, he'll only have a couple of scars left on his head.. So I named him Scar. ruclips.net/video/_lZrivIe_oQ/видео.html
Hi TX.....what a cool name....SCAR! I don't do facebook and don't have an account, but wish I could see it. Is there any way you would be able to post it to youtube?
I couldn't figure out why a couple of the triplets did not seem hungry to eat apple piece the last couple days. One turned it's nose up again this morning. They don't like this kind of apples I bought a few days ago. LOL I guess I will be making a trip to the store this morning :-)))))
That is just incredible. I wish I could do a fence area to keep the little ones safe, but they seem to be doing okay wandering. They are just so small....no milk since 3 weeks old.. and they are 9 weeks now. Not sure if they would even consider milk now. I wish I could get these 3 to bottle feed. I try using the doe calls too, but guess I better look them up on the internet to get better at them. I always talk to all my deer when they are here. I want them to learn my voice, I can see some of them down the road and call them and they will come down to my house. Oh yes....The young bucks will be leaving soon. They come to see me for a little over a year, let me pet and feed them....very comfortable. When summer hits, they start getting more nervous. Levi and Buster are shying away from me now when I pet them. Levi is just ready to branch into 6 points.....Buster 4 points, Byron's spikes never got more than an inch long for some reason. Come late October/November, they will disappear, only to show up on the outskirts of my yard from time to time and too nervous to come back up to me. The girls, on the other hand, love coming up all year. :-)))
Love your story. Scar is very lucky to have you there.
I’m so sorry for your loss of Elly. What a blessing you are to the world especially the animal world.
Thank you! Elly was a very special friend.;-))))

Hi Elleni. I grew up in the city for most of my life. This is still quite new to me, even though I have been doing it for around 4 years now (time flies!) . Be proud of your squirrel and little birds. I know they appreciate you very much! I try to do a new video every 2-3 months. I did some extra ones with the orphans this last year. We'll see what this year brings. ;-)

Thank you for being kind to these beautiful animals. I can't help crying for Elly Girl.
Hi Mike. It was so hard to lose her. It has been even harder watching her triplets struggling to survive. they seem to be doing okay. The neighbors put out food for them, and they stop by here to eat at times. I am trying to get them to come here twice a day....but they are kids 9a mind of their own). LOL Updated video coming soon;-)
You are one lucky man to be able to get that close to nature. Gentle and kind.
Hi my friend! it took a long time to get to where they would trust me enough to come up to me. I feel blessed each day they do this. :-)))))
OMG elly RIP. sooooooooooo emotional. You are a best mother.
It was hard losing Elly. She was such a very good friend. ;*-(
Ok, the tears are running down my face. Any idea what could have happened? Thank you! Please live forever....for them.
Hi Marcia. I am not sure what happened to Elly. The neighbors found her in their woods. I have been working with her triplets, but they roam everywhere and can be hard to find at times. You can see them in Episode 15. I am just beginning work on a new video with all the deer, and a segment on Elly's triplets. I will live as long as the good Lord let's me. ;-)

oh so cute, the lil brown squirrel, I have one that comes around once in awhile, but it gets out numbered by 5 squirrels
Wow, This Is The Most Beautiful Video I Have Seen, And Slice Of Heaven Is What It Looks Like, So Beautiful, Relaxing, Enjoyed Watching Over Again. Thank You For Sharing. Made My Day!!
This is one of my favorite videos. I am amazed each time the furry ones come up to me!
Everything in this video is magnificent, the music, the creatures and the Human.
It is so soothing and relaxing, I enjoy every bit of it.
Hi my friend! I'm glad you liked this. This is one of my favorite videos that I put together because I like the music so much....and it just "fits" with the awesome deer! :-)))
Where is this Heaven located?
When I am going to do my Cross Country travel, I want to be in the Heaven alive.
Im so happy he called the racoon bandit
For 6:25 of watching this video I forget all the bad that happens in this world.........such a beautiful story!
Thank you! I am glad this could take you to a happy place, and that you enjoyed it! Have a great week! :-)
Those turkeys 🦃 are beautiful...didn’t Elly pass away and leave 3 beautiful fawns?
Yes, Elly passed away when her triplets were just 3 weeks old. it was very difficult for them. the little boy, Wrigley, has been missing since August. The other two, birdie and Elly Mae, come to see me almost every day and are dong great! You can see them in my more recent videos. :-)))
I hope this crazy world would have more people like flyfish0822......those creatures need and appreciate his love and his food!
Thank you, Fernando! I love when they come to visit me:-)
Very well done. You Sir are in the top .00001 percent of humans. Maybe you are an angel from Heaven on Earth.
Hi Kenny. I am happy you liked this! The angels are the little fawns and the mommas that take such good care of them. I am just lucky enough to spend a few minutes each day with them. :-)))
Humans and nature in total harmony
Sorry about my spelling . I spell -- Why like Hwy-- I'm not a good speller.
The older I get, the worse my spelling gets, too. LOL
breaks my heart that Elly is gone. Just watching your videos brought me so close to them, if that even makes any sense. I am sorry for your loss. :(
Thank you, Denise. it is very different around here with Elly gone. I have seen two of her triplets across the road the past two days and have tried to get them to come over to eat. They have been on their own for 2 weeks now.....no Elly to nurse off of. I have bottles and formula in case I can get them to trust me enough. Poor babies. Most of the other deer friends still stop by for snacks...….many of them come by twice a day:-)))))))
Es un pequeño paraíso.
¡Gracias! Me encanta cuando mis amigos vienen a visitarme! :-)))
You and Elly were blessed to know each other. No better person for Elly to raise her young around.
Elly was such a sweetheart. I was blessed that she allowed me into her private life for a few minutes each day! :-)))
Two of her triplets come to visit me every day now (more recent videos). They are healthy and dong great! :-)))
although it's sad at Ellie's passing I just know the baby fawns will come to you to help them. They saw their mother trusting you and they will too! What a beautiful video of human and wildlife on this rainy day here in Tennessee. Thank you
Hi Robert! The triplets had a tough struggle, as you can see in the later videos. The boy, Wrigley, disappeared in August. Little Birdie and Elly Mae come to visit me almost every day now., and are in my last two videos. I love when they stop by to see me! :-)))
Please tell me, how they are friendly and trust you . I'm been trying and feeding squirrels but they are still very wild don't trust me. Deers are also coming to my property in winter night mostly , where there is an apple tree . I assume that they like to eat it's branches. They are more difficult to communicate. I'm very close to stree but behind my property there is big forest. Can you tell me your methods thanks By the way I'm in Canada i can see you are in U.S. our environment should be almost same
Hi Ted. I started by rolling an apple to them from a long way away. Over the next weeks, I would try to roll the apples a little closer so they would come closer. I would talk to them the whole time so they would learn my voice. I think that is a big key! When I started to put corn down for them, I would let them come up to it and each time I would try to stand a little closer to them without spooking them, and I would talk to them. It took 1 1/2 years for the first one to come right up to me and let me pet her (Elly). The other deer would see this and just started trusting me more. Some deer have never come up to me. Others are more brave and get closer and closer and finally let me pet them. I had to be VERY patient! Good luck to you! :-)))
Your like the deer whisperer. How nice that these animals come up to you. I also like their names. How you can keep them straight is beyond me.
Hi Tom! it took a long time for them to come to trust me. It took 1 1/2 years before the first one, Elly, came up to me and let me pet her. I have petted 17 different ones now. I have seen them so much that I can tell most of them apart just by their facial features. They all look very different to me. I had to name them to keep them all straight! LOL
Rest in peace sweet Elly !!
WOW!! What State are you in?? You are like Dr. Doolittle!!!
Hi PeaceFan1! I am more like Dr. Do-alot. LOL For privacy concerns, I can only say I am in north central USA. Enjoy your week! :-)))
this is so wonderful, living in this environment... you are probably a very happy man.
Hi my friend! I do love when they come to visit me! They are a very special group. :-)))
@@flyfish0822 indeed they are... :)
everyone wants love...💓💓💓
Hi my friend! "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." -Anatole France.
Also...….you have a very beautiful voice! Enjoy your week! :-)))))
@@flyfish0822
Thanks a lot🙏😊😊
This is how things are supposed to be: man at peace with nature. ❤️
I photograph and take videos of deer and I would totally do this and pet them if they come up to me. But I feel they don’t completely trust me yet and I am afraid of deer ticks.
It took me 1 1/2 years of giving them snacks each day, talking to them, gradually getting close and closer to them, before the first one, Elly, came up to me and let me pet her while she ate. I pick the ticks off them, when they let me, and smash them on the ground. LOL Patience, my friend. :-)))))))))))
I don't have deer, but my wild babies are possums, wallabies, currawongs, and a very young echidna who passed away just yesterday. Because of really bad Bush fires here in Tasmania recently, and lack of water, there wasn't enough food for her to find, they eat ants, termites and beetles. And by the time we got back home from being evacuated, she was already under weight, we couldn't find her before we left as she is a wild creature, she goes where she wants to go. The wildlife caregiver took her to try to help her but we still lost the poor wee thing. Thankfully, my wallaby friends were ok, but I do have one young possum still missing, so she may have surcomed to the fire or the smoke, I remain hopeful that she'll turn up. It is wonderful when nature allows you to interact it's very rewarding watching each new generation grow up. Thank you for sharing, your deer friends are beautiful. Cheers from Tasmania!
Hi Howlling Wind! Wow....what a story you have. I am sorry about the wild fires. I can only imagine how devastating things were there. Thank goodness, some of your friends made it through the fires. I am happy you liked the video, and wish you all the best in Tasmania! ;-)))
@@flyfish0822 thank you for a reply, well we've now had some decent rain, which will go a long way to putting the fires out. From just after Christmas, lightening strike started the fire deep in the inaccessible wilderness, but then we had gale force winds which just cranked the fire up and it ended up that half of Tasmania was burning. But our wonderful fire fighters who are predominantly volunteers did a magnificent job given what they were up against. There was no loss of human life, not so sure about the wildlife, and in my area only 8 houses couldn't be saved and 1 shed, I think that's pretty good! My community is a lovely caring one and the local supermarket gave the firefighters their groceries for free plus a bit more. Recently we had a fundraising event to raise money for new equipment for them. Well, you didn't need to know all that did you?! Thank you for your kind words, be happy, be well, be safe. Cheers!
Wow....this sounds devastating, but I can tell by your comments that it could have been much worse. Thank goodness for our emergency responders! Way out west of me in California, they had some terrible wildfires again last year They had the same type of "Howling Winds" (see what I did there? :-))) as you did. Lots of homes and lives lost. Glad to hear you came through this with such a positive attitude and outlook. Stay safe, my friend, and best wishes to you and yours. :-)))
@@flyfish0822 thank you, and yes I did see what you did, a play on words can be fun. When I first got introduced to the internet and all you can find, many moons ago now, I was told I should have a name, so there I was sitting at my computer, one wintery night, with the wind raging out side. Then the wind came into the house sort of, and made this wooo wooo wooo sound and it sounded a little like a howl, and so my internet name was created. Be creative, Be well, Be happy, Be safe. Cheers!
Do you happen to know the exact place where Elly had her last set of triplets? This video is so cool.
Hi my friend! Not sure where she had them, whether it was the side field, or if she had them down the road in the woods. One of those 3 triplets, Birdie, is 2 years old now and comes to visit me almost every day (more recent videos). I am glad you enjoyed this video!
i know you will take care of Ellys babies, you are a great man!! rest in peace Elly.
Lot's has happened since those days. I have close to 30 deer that come visit me each day now, but I still miss Ely. She was very special to me. thank you for your nice comments! :-)))
Elly lived a good life. Had six babies. Lots of love. RIP.
Hi David! Actually, in the years I knew Elly, she had 9 fawns. First was Fritz, then Rocky and Adrian, then Emma, Isaac, and Jacob, then Eli, Wrigley, and Birdie. Not sure how many she had before I met her. :-)))))))))))
This man loves animals.
such beautiful, majestic, and cute animals. i'd love to pet and hug them.
Yes, they are very special! :-)))))
