Oh, by the way, I am trying the dish of sugarwater for the bees so the hummingbird feeders will be left alone...first of all, the bees still remember the feeders have sugarwater in them BUT the dish has attracted quite a few bees also...as well as quite a few ants!

I don't want hunting on my property though, as even though it's 50 plus acres the property is long and narrow and I have horses.

One friend calls them "giant rodents with antlers", I might not go that far but they do lose their appeal after a while. We have also had a problem with some people hunting in our city neighborhood which is crazy.Shirleyhttp://rockoakdeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-59442553675774554062012-11-17T12:42:49.400-07:002012-11-17T12:42:49.400-07:00You got many great photos of the deer.

In September, we hit a deer with our truck. We did everything we could to avoid it and not cause a wreck (don't swerve to miss a deer in your lane. you could hit another vehicle or go off the road and have a worse crash.) I wince when I read that someone rolled a vehicle because they swerved to miss a deer. The buck would "dance." Should I step forward or back? We had too much traffic to just stop although we certainly slowed suddenly. The only good thing (we had to fix the bumpers on the front of the truck--luckily could drive it fine) was it was right in front of the game warden's house and he has a list of families that need the meat and he took care of getting the deer to one. So, our repair costs provided for a family in need. <br />I don't know why people are surprised the deer population is so large and healthy in farming areas. They have all those yummy crops to eat. <br />Thanks for sharing your deer photos.Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-1048383857412687802012-11-17T12:39:15.863-07:002012-11-17T12:39:15.863-07:00Good advice to the birders Chris.

I remember up in Minnesota one bear season, I saw some skinned bears on the ground. It was pretty sad. I'll never get that image out of my head. But the bears are so abundant they need to hunt them.

But do hunters have to use lead ammunition? A lead bullet fragments when it hits bone leaving micro pieces of lead in the meat. Not good for us and also bad for some scavengers like eagles and condors. It is scary to be in the woods during hunting season and I orange just isn't my color.

I eat neither one of them now. Except my mother-in-law cans venison, and for some reason, that blows my mind, it's excellent. Who would think canned meat would be good? I would never go hunting, but my dad and husband go. There are lots of deer who would starve in the winter if the population got out of control, so I see that side of it.Hosta Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03391169245975223743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-41306821481732552382012-11-17T07:36:49.303-07:002012-11-17T07:36:49.303-07:00being raised in wis, my brothers hunted deer, squi...being raised in wis, my brothers hunted deer, squirrel, bird, etc. i never liked the taste, but i do believe it was not prepared well, either. it was 'meat on the table - eat it or else'. :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-54358633050338881912012-11-17T07:31:24.425-07:002012-11-17T07:31:24.425-07:00Growing up I ate a lot of venison never asking que...Growing up I ate a lot of venison never asking questions...

I personally hate the thought of hunting by the public at large, as most do it for sport or the treaty taste of game meat, rather than actual survival. I do recognise that just as in parts of this country, culling must take place to reduce populations of deer, but best left to the professional gamekeeper with the right weapon and skill I think. I fear the problem with just anyone doing it is that it attracts too many Rambo types with the wrong gun, or a bow or crossbow etc, and in the case of people enjoying the countryside, endangers life human life too. More often than not there isn't a clean kill too. Sorry, a bit of a rant, but you did ask. Have a good weekend, and beautiful pictures of deer doing what they do best...living.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-73518862683239074412012-11-17T03:39:05.931-07:002012-11-17T03:39:05.931-07:00Great post, Chris!

I do not mind the hunters that take the deer and use the meat but I have a horrible dislike for the hunter that take what they want and leave the carcass. I find these "hunters" to be disgusting and there seems to be a lot of it going on right now. Now onto the brighter side, your photos are wonderful. I love the lawn ornaments.
