speaking of old........














The rancher loved to watch his "pets". He was like Dr Doolittle. He had a pet blackbuck yearling he called junior, an axis stag he called Hartford. Two boars, Gorgeous and Jimmy Dean, and about 23 cats and a half dozen dogs and a fice he named Ginger that would ride up front in the cab with us and eat deer corn out of a bucket. The animals recognized his truck and when he'd drive down to certain areas and bang on the side of the truck with a coffe can, they would come running. One year we spray painted "NO" on Gorgeous, hoping he would not get shot in case he wandered "off the reservation" I put up a pen that would keep the hogs out close to his house where he could watch them. No one was allowed to hunt this part of the property. IIRC it was here where I came up with the idea of "The Petting Zoo"
