Around our family farm, the deer have to get along with the cattle. The choice, otherwise, is to stand out in the middle of crop fields, which they do in the evenings and night. All the creek bottoms that have cover, also have grass............. and cows!! The deer won't hang out with the cows, so to speak, but they are all in the same area together, until fall, and then most cattle are moved back to the home place/pasture for wintering and calving which leaves many pastures empty of cattle and the deer have the place all to themselves!
