All About George


George is the most social deer in our herd, hence his name from Curious George. At first he was a bit cautious about humans, but now he has no trouble taking apples from your hand, your lap or licking your hand. He often nudges feeders to ensure he gets his share. He loves to eat. He is a mid-sized buck, we guess about 3 or 4 years old.

The herd has a hierarchial setup and his status seems to be quite high. One of his constant companions is EG (formerly known as Scratch) a deer of similar size and age. Sometimes
they engage in Laurel and Hardy humour routines...George as Ollie and Scratch as Stan.

The top photo was taken in March 2006 of George and Allan Park, feeder. The other photo was taken in July. George is always eating!
