Oooh can you PM me this location? My kid would go apeshit if we saw deer!

Sorry, its literally my backyard. I took these shots standing a few feet off my porch.

If it helps I'm in the Reed's Hill neighborhood of Midlothian. There's a group of about 25 deer that pass through near Old Gun every morning around 7a and in the evening around 6p.

The last picture is gorgeous and well worthy of printing and framing professionally. Well done.

Has anyone ever seen the albino deer? 288 & Midlo turnpike interchange

That's the last thing you see in the fall on 288 ...

Very cool. Keep an eye on him and watch how his antlers grow! Also you said this was your backyard, do you ever find sheds back there?

Saw one out on the Amelia/Chesterfield border 2-3 years ago in October. Right at the 360/604 “Chula Junction” intersection. It was with a decent sized herd on farm land. I’m 1000% sure it did not make it though Thanksgiving. It was very close to the highway, and folks were slowing down to see it.

I live off Old Gun and recognized immediately! We also call it the deer highway. This area has so much wildlife!

I grew up in Reed’s Landing and somehow have never heard of Reed’s Hill! My parents still live there, and routinely see bachelor herds of around ten bucks. Truly so cool to see, especially when they’re not in rut but are practicing fighting etc.

The deer are so used to people at Robious Landing now, you can nearly run straight into them on the trails! They must here people coming, but just don’t care to move sometimes until the last second.

That’s the name! What reminded me of the question here is taking my great aunts out for a ride. Slowly driving to see water maybe 5pm during spring. See like 2 dozen deer hanging out “oh hey car people what’s up?” The old ladies still talk about it.
