Hunting Season Safety

It's hunting season in Wyoming.  I did a rough count, and there are over 130 different hunting seasons depending on location, critter and method. There's archery season and gun season. There's a season for deer, elk, antelope, moose, bison, bear...as well as a season for grouse, turkey, rabbit and squirrel. The state is divided into many areas, and each area has a different hunting season for each category. Given that, the deer season around here is opening soon and the local deer seem to know it. They are hanging out in my backyard. 
This youngster is about 2 years old. He's probably not a very good target as he's not endowed with a big rack. Thank goodness, as I enjoy looking at him.

As long as he stays in my backyard he's very safe! 
What I find even more enjoyable is what the deer are eating. They are munching on the wildflowers and NOT my petunias.
