deer hunters

Same here, oswaldters! Hey, that one looks like it's heading straight for the trash can there. Deer in the yard is better than bear in the yard, though. Used to have a bear that would bite the head off of rabbits then leave the body in the yard.

It had left our lawn and gone across the street to go through their backyard and back into the woods.

The things are fearless - they just stand there and look at you.

I try to explain how the food chain works and our relative positions, but they never listen to me and just continue on with their business.

I think my dog thinks their her kin folks or something. She whines and tries get them to come closer as if they're actually going to play with her. I have to keep an eye on her outside. All it would take is for one of them big ones to step on her little head once and she'd be a goner.

Speaking of fearless...our neighborhood needs some squirrel hunters to come over this way. Those little buggers sit on the curb lookin' at ya just waiting for you to get close to them then run out in the road right in front of you.

So did anyone get a Thanksgiving deer today?

So the irony is that while everyone is spending hours hunting and coming up empty, I've got deer walking across my suburban lawn on a daily basis.

Todays Deer Hunt Score. Deer 1 Hunter 0.

No deer today, wind was horrible 35MPH gust out of the South West. Ground hunted till 8AM and changed over to stalk hunting till about 2. The winds picked up which causes a hazzard in the woods so I let Mr Buck live another day. Temps are dropping after this front moves through. Looks like this weekend may be better. Getting far into the season.
Guess that's why they call it hunting. Deer are some amazing animals and there natural instincts of survival are incredible. I guess they are wearing camouflage also.

You can only run so long and so far before the LY Deer Hunter finds you!!

Yesterday morning a co-worker hit a deer with his car on the way into work. Thankfully he wasnt hurt but looks as the car will be up in the body shop for a few weeks

[Rianna]

Oh man, that's a shame, lankeeyankee. I reckon I didn't think to do a NO WIND dance for ya. Sorry to hear about your co-worker and his car there. Them deer can really do some damage. Hey, what kind of gun do you hunt with? Or you use a bow and arrow maybe?

One of y'all better get a dang deer soon!!
