Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction; internet is not much help. I know, sounds crazy but the Mrs would like to place a couple of life size deer in our yard. Anyone know where I can start looking (beside Bass Pro that has targets)? Don't want to spend a thousand dollars either. Thanks

I remember a story of someone doing what youโre wanting to do and having to remove them because they were getting shot at. Good luck.

Or the concrete places that make water fountains, roosters, etc.
I know a couple of families that have them in their yard and just repaint them every 5 years or so.

Check out Little Reds on Hwy 80 just west of where 80 splits off of I-20. We have two deer and a mountain lion in our yard that came from there. They are cast aluminum that are painted with a very durable finish.

Check the Greenery in Waxahachie. They typically have a good selection of what you're looking for.

I believe the Taxidermist that created this cat might be available to do a couple of deer.
