Oh Deer: Families of bucks, does and fawns look for forage in Carson City neighborhoods

Here are some close-up photographs of mule deer found foraging for food among Carson City's west side back, front and side yards. Nevada has an estimated population of 110,000 to 112,000 mule deer, according to the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

Since early fall there have been a handful of deer colliding with cars resulting in some fatalities. When driving along dark streets, motorists are urged to look for deer crossings through neighborhood roadways and yards.
