What animals have you seen w/deer
 
I' m wondering what other animals you' ve seen along side of deer in the woods. I' ve actually seen seen 3 coyotes along side a nice 8 point and neither seemed to be bothering the other. Is this uncommon? I' ve seen this one other time with a smaller buck and a single coyote. I' ve also frequently seen turkeys and white tails feeding together in close proximity as well as deer and racoons together. I' ve seen deer cross through the middle of groups of cattle. But on the other hand, I' ve hunted in Texas where they have a lot of deer and also a lot of goat herds and never seen either within sight of the other.

I' ve frequently seen deer in the company of turkeys.
Feeding together and even following a flock of
turkeys through the woods.

I have seen deer in the company of quail, turkeys, squirrels, and racoons.
Im sure there are others but these are the ones that come to mind.

Since I' ve spent a lot of time hunting over feeders, I have seen just about everything when it comes to animal fellowship. Just as mentioned earlier deer have no problems with squirrels, racoons and turkeys. However, they do not like hogs, cattle, coyotes, bobcats, bears or fox. They will always keep a safe distance between themselves and potential predators. They especially will not come to a feeder if cattle or hogs are there feeding.

Toytaco,
Last year I had a porcupine in my bait pile when two button bucks came in and started to eat right next to it. Everything I have heard about that is deer won' t come in if a porcupine is around. The only thing I know is seeing is believing...

we see deer with cows all the time. our neighbor up the road has several cows and there is a nice buck that has lived in their pasture ever since he was small. last year he was a nice 8 ptr. and this year looks like a big 8 or nice 10. anyway he even sleeps in the barn with the cows. :) i guess he is just used to them and feels like he belongs. however, where he belongs is on my wall- i just havn' t had the chance to discuss it with him yet:D:D;)

Ive seen squirrels run right under a feeding deer. I also have a deercam pic of a possum eating five feet from the deer.

Turkeys and ducks. I' ve seen them in the presence of coons and foxes, they paid little attention to the coons, but kept an eye on the foxes but never ran. I watched a curious doe follow around a duck for several minutes just trying to sniff it and the duck kept waddling just ahead of the doe.

Click, a deer sleeping in a barn?¿? Wanna take a picture for me?

Chances of that are very unlikely unless he was pen raised

Ditto on the Badger, Turkeys, fox, coyote, phesants, grouse, and of course Squirels

Amazing how deer take little notice of these other animals.

Hmmm, I have seen squirrels, turkeys, grouse, pheasent, rabbits, and grounhogs. These are the animals that the deer really didn' t care about. They actually like hanging around turkeys. I guess if you have a deer and a turkey standing there, chances are, no predators are going to be able to go undetected. The turkey has some of the best eye sight, while the deer have the best sense of hearing and smell.

I have seen fox and coyote come out, and the fox set the deer on alert. That was when the coyote went after the fox, and scared all the deer. (The coyote finally killed that fox).

I have also seen weasels playin near deer and the deer didn' t seem to be scared, just more curious.

Last year I saw a deer chase a cat around the back of a house. It was during the urban archery season in Blacksburg, Virginia. Wierd! It made me think twice about hunting urban deer.

Here in Australia I seen Pigs in umungst deer and niether animal minded. I actually think that the pigs are getting smarter were I hunt cause they hang around the deer and when the deer sense something is wrong (alot of the time me stalking them) the pigs follow them out of there.[:@] So I don' t get a crack at either of them.

i know that the deer over here are not to fond of dingoes though.

See Ya

Just on the subject, will deer/elk moves away if there is a sheep herd feeding on their territory?

hunt2kill---

i know it is crazy --this deer has been on the news and everything around here[:o]

it is definitly not pen raised since i could probably step over the fence -- i think the word is that his mother was killed just infront of the farmers house and he took the fawn and put him in the barn with some calves and he has been there ever since -- going on four years now:D

they say he never leaves the pasture but i dont know-- all i know is he always seems to be there when i go past:)

Mostly Turkeys - I' ve seen some old does that for sure watch the turkeys for reaction when they are follwing.

Once a coyote & doe - the coyote was mouse hunting in the field - and she watched, but mostly ingnored him - even at 20 yds away.

I' ve seen deer " turn inside out" at the site of a housecat??? haw scary is that!?
