I have been seeing her for a few years now.
And trust me, she is a smart one. She will bust me every time before I see her.
The Dow to the right is an average sized deer.
See her in the yard near the house once in a while too.
This is the first picture of her that has a reference to another mature deer with her to see just how tall she is.
Check out this old gal.

They do get smart. Not to hijack, just sharing. This doe has been coming by for years also. Her yearling fawn, buck, has some buttons already. They feel safe in my yard to sleep.

Re: Check out this old gal.
My wife calls her Big Mama.
I have seen some of her fawn in the first part of September and I would guess them to field dress around 90#.
I wouldn't be surprised if this old gal would dress at near or over 200#. My brother in law got a huge buck that went 225# and this doe looks about as big as that buck.
The big problem with her, she kicks her buck fawn out of the country so I don't get a chance to see them when they mature.
There are a couple of does that are her fawns and they are big now too but not quite as tall. And they have been sticking around.
Another neat thing about her, she always has triplets every year.

Re: Check out this old gal.
Interesting! She looks as big as the doe I miffed the shot on (shot under her) a few years back. Nearly as big as a horse. I misjudged the distance due to her size (never should have taken the shot...paced off to over 35 yards)
Aim small, miss small!
