Deer Hunt

If you want to read this in chronological order, see Jay's post on the same subject first then come back to mine.

I took my walking stick and went with Jay because otherwise, he would have been out there alone. Oh, ya, and I really enjoy his company, too.

So, there he is Saturday afternoon, looking for deer on a hill side that's 500 yards away and I told him if he shoots one down there I'm sending him in with a skillet and a fork. Yes, it is that steep! The shadows were down in there before 4:00 in the afternoon.


















And as I left work Monday afternoon - right there in front of the Rocket Garden...










That's right, a 4 point buck right in the middle of 9 does and fawns.
I stopped across the road and took a few pictures. A few of them raised their heads and looked at me, but then just went back to grazing.

Too bad you can't hunt at work!

We were setting on the porch at Judy and George's in Elko when a herd of deer crossed the backyard. It was the opening day of hunting season and the deer obviously knew where it was illegal to shoot. I could shoot deer off my deck but Barb would hate me if I did. I guess I am too much a guy that likes to watch wild life not be a part of it. Dennis aka MUD

That's so funny! They know when they're safe I guess!

Not a comment on the deer stuff, but no, I didn't know about clicking on the interests section to link me to other people. Thanks for the cool tip!
