A doe eating corn in Missouri

As we drove around our rural neighborhood, I was focused off to the right of the truck- trying to capture three deer grazing from far away. My husband poked me and to our left, at a very short distance, a doe stood in a field's waterway, eating as much corn as she could get! She didn't seem to mind us- she was so close, we could hear her chew.
