Ran around splitting some Cherry, after splitting at the first stop I moved down the trail to start splitting the next Cherry when this young deer showed up and started checking out the pile.

Great pics as usual especially the deer pic! I've heard that deer do indeed eat cherry when then they are tiny saplings. Pretty sure Pennsylvania gets ravaged by the deer eating the cherry trees there but I could be wrong..
Pennsylvania has been ravaged by too many deer in the past couple of decades, but Black Cherry and Red Maple are two of the trees that are ravaged the least. Lots of woodlands here have a generation of young trees that includes mostly Black Cherry and Red Maple due to deer eating most everything else. Deer will eat a little of everything, so I am sure they have eaten some cherry, but they don't seem to eat it as eagerly as other trees and shrubs. Aruond here (the State College area of central PA) many woods have mostly oak as the mature trees, but mostly cherry and maple as the understory.
In late summer when those cherries are ripe lots of wildlife are drawn to them, including deer. Coons climb the trees and knock lots of cherries to the ground and the deer wont' be too far behind.
