New record deer count in the 'hood yesterday in one siting. 13 total, but only 2 bucks, a spike and a forkhorn that were sparing. The other 11 I saw a few days ago. They are a mix of does, yearlings, and young of the year. Not sure if the season is still open here. Archery begins Sept. 1, so I'm told, and I never hear any of those quiet shots. I did hear one gunshot before I got up this morning, but that's not too unusual most any time of the year. I'd guess that we have a few of those "any season is subsistence hunting season" types living around here.
