Feeding The Deer




On Sunday, we all went to a farm.  They had deer.  We helped feed them.  First he filled three bags full of dried corn from a large corn bin, Damon filled the last one.  Paul, who owns the farm, put the bags in the back of the truck and Dad, Elena, Damon and I rode in the back with Mom in the front.  We drove up this steep, long rode with a couple of gates.  We had to keep stopping to open and close them.  After we finally got to the last gate, we went through it and there were lots of deer running towards us (around 100) because they knew it was time for dinner.  The deer were coming to us from other hills and a pond.  We had to wait for all the deer otherwise the ones still coming wouldn't get to eat.  Once all the deer came, Paul started pouring out the food in a long line.  The deer lined up nicely next to each other and ate.  In the spots were he poured the food first, there was none left because the deer ate all of it.  If you come up behind the deer so they can't see you, you can pet them.  After a minute we had to go back, I rode in the front with mom.
