Water Rat

If it dies in my yard , I’ll just bury it next to my wife’s cats. Just have to make another crucifix. LOL

Maybe...... it looks like it’s missing patches of hair. Deer can get mange. I had a fox running around with mange last month. It probably died by now.

I thought that too in the spring. Some thought he was shedding from the winter to summer coat.

Lmao......that’s funny Steve D.

Poor little guy...………..don't think he made it. Haven't seen him in a while.

I've been watching this little 4 pointer in my yard all summer thinking he was sick and malnourished. Whenever I see him , he always has his tail tucked between his legs. His coat looks like Hell and I've never seen him with other deer. It's as if the other deer can sense that there's something wrong with him. I even notified the DEC to get their opinion on him during the summer and they basically said there's nothing wrong with him. He looks to have added some fat on him but not much.. I used to see his ribs and spine easily. Well , today I took this picture of him and another 4 pointer that walked by a few minutes after the first one. Notice the difference in the coats of these 2 deer. I'd be interested in what the membership thinks. Is there something wrong with this deer ?

Nice bobcat.…..looks bigger than average. Hard for me to guess the weight , but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 25 pounds or better. Looks a little smaller than the coyote that typically weighs 35 pounds or so. Hope you get him.

One October afternoon I shot a doe with my bow and I was loading it into the back of my truck. As I was doing this , a woman kept driving up and down the road watching me. I thought about confronting her because she was driving so slowly but I figured I’d mind my own business. So now it’s getting dark and I drove the doe to my butcher and from there I went home to take a shower. I’m in the shower when my wife starts knocking on the bathroom door telling me that there’s a state trooper at the front door. So I get dried off and go to the door to see what he wants. He then asked me if I shot a deer a couple of hours ago. I then told him I did and that I just got home from the butcher. Now he tells me that a woman called the barracks claiming she heard gunshots and saw me loading a deer into my truck. I told the trooper that my bow is still in my truck and that I could show him the bloody arrow. After checking out my explanation , he thanked me for my cooperation and he went on his way. I guess she just ASSUMED.

Thanks for sharing your hunt. The lip squeak sealed the deal. It’s gonna look awesome mounted.
