Sunset in the County

Here is the view from the west side of my house across the harvested corn field.

8) Pics Allie.
Looks like the perfect place to blast Bambi as she walks across

Sorry......hunting season

Well it look purty skeery to me. I can see a flying sauce swooping over the horizon at any time...in my minds eye of course.

Puff, I tried really hard to get pics of 4 deer across the road playing last weekend. They were just too far without a telephoto lens and I don't have that. I've seen a hunter go back in the woods there 3 times so I have a feeling they won't be here long.

I take it the old man doesn't hunt?

I've often thought of buying a license just so I don't have to dodge those critters on the highway They think they're pets around here. Folks feed em ears of corn and they wallow cross the road like they paid the taxes to build em.

Deer are beautiful, graceful animals that we sometimes glimpse around dawn and sunset. Their population has expanded immensely in recent years; reportedly there are more of them than ever before. Unfortunately for them and us, they walk/run out in front of vehicles. Those of us who ride motorcycles, and are vulnerable when a hundred-pound animal gets in front of us, would love to see a whole lot fewer of them, particularly right now -- during rut -- when they can dash out of nowhere any time of day or night. I haven't hit one yet. Several of my friends have. Quite a few around the country have been killed. Motorcyclists have a love/hate thing with deer, mostly hate.

John, being a cycle rider too. I understand where your coming from.
I lost 2 good people in Northern Mi. 2 yrs. ago to a deer/ cycle accident.

I see at least 3-4 groups every night when I drive into work at 2:30am. I blast my horn at em...even if they aren't by the road.

I'm in southeastern Lagrange County. No, Les doesn't hunt. He said he's getting too old and has better things to do than sit waiting for a deer. LOL I actually enjoy hunting but don't want to go alone and don't even own a gun. He's afraid I'd get mad and shoot him!

I enjoy watching the deer play in the field but hate to see them in the road. I saw one tonight crossing in front of me and one was in the field looking at me. Then I saw a truck in a ditch and have a feeling he tried to miss one. On Halloween, Les came around a sharp curve and a buck was standing in the road. He eased up to it. The buck touched the front of the van with his nose and then ran off.
