Addendum 4: January 2023
January 2, 2023 there were tracks in the driveway, so I slapped on some snowshoes and walked the property to figure out where the deer had come from and where it had gone. Left photo above shows where it came onto the property around a little snip of fencing on the river bank. The fencing…

Addendum 3: December 2022
My friend Jean spotted a three legged doe (far left, above) on a hillside in the residential area of Okanogan again during the first week of December. The deer’s leg injury is pretty much identical to Pi’s injury, and she’s known to frequent that area sometimes, so odds are high it’s her. We continued to…

Center and right pics, the injured fawn showed up at my friend Mary’s house, in the residential area the Pogue deer are known to frequent. Great to see it still on its feet two weeks out. It’s doing what it’s supposed to: eating and…

7. Where We Are Now and Where We’re Going
It’s October 22, 2022, and all the deer have been gone from the property for a week. It is distinctly quiet here without them, kind of like an orchard that’s been fully harvested. Exactly one week ago from this writing, I saw the last of them for now: the Auntie and her two fawns. I…

6. The “Incidents”
INCIDENT ONE: Unsettling The first “incident” involves both the Auntie and Pi’s little families. Together at the same time, they were trying to navigate the north property line path, which runs east to west between the river bank and the paddocks. It’s plenty wide for a doe leading twin fawns, but a tight fit for six…

Table of Contents: Post Topics
1. The Place The opening “Place” post is the longest, but broken up topically. I recommend the first page because it gives quick background on the deer and the place. The geopolitical and hydrological sections are probably of most interest to people who know or have an interest in the area. The section on how…
