However, $3.00 is a bit much for one home-grown bell pepper.

The rodent deer tore down a section of fencing on the north side the other day. Off to buy more fence posts and deer fencing today. Eventually I think my yard is going to be a "gated community" in order to keep vermin deer eating just the wild things. One of them is a young spike in velvet, and I been wishing I still had my old bow. Every now and again I look at Ebay and am tempted. Come October, would it be OK to pop him with a 9mm handgun? Since I paid for just about everything that lil' bastard has been eating, along with the two does and three new fawns from this last spring.






My fifteen year old would gladly come help you thin your deer herd SG. He is experienced and responsible. He wants to bowhunt again this year and it is probable I won't have much time to invest this season.

He has pictures posted from year before last in the hunting forum.
