Even if you d0 manage to catch a glimpse of them, they can get out of dodge pretty quickly if they need to. The White-Tailed Deer can run up to 48 km\/hr (30 mph) and even more impressive, they are capable of leaping an astounding 9 m (30′) in a single bound. I don’t even think Superman can leap 30 feet in a single bound (only tall buildings).<\/p>\n
White-Tailed Deer Fast Fact – <\/strong>The White-Tailed Deer is sort of a success story in the United States. At one time, the population of these majestic animals were quite low due to over-hunting. Since then the Government stepped in and put some strict regulations in place and as a result the White-Tailed Deer population is rebounding quite nicely. I love good news stories.<\/p>\nSo this is probably the largest garden pest we will be talking about this week so be prepared to head back to the insect world tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed today’s Wild Fact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I had a hunch that you were getting tired of Garden Pests in the insect form, so I figured we would look at a pest that is a little larger, the White-Tailed Deer. Now I know most people may not automatically think of cute little Bambie sneaking into their garden and completely destroying their crops, but it does happen quite regularly, especially when the White-Tailed Deer is having a tough time finding their natural food source. So what do you say, are you up for learning a little more about this awesome animal that just happens to like garden food? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60,4024],"tags":[348,2164,412,4025,2165,2163,2166],"yoast_head":"\n
