On my way to work this morning, about two blocks from my home, standing in the front yard of someones house was a blacktail doe. If you knew where I live you'd know why I'm shocked. I live in an urban area, with houses all around and we all look into each others windows (oops, guess I shouldn't admit that). Our neighborhood is surrounded by freeways and basic city life. How this doe got there I'll never know. I figured no one would believe me so I turned around and went home to grab the camera. When I get a time I'll put up the pictures. <P>You can find me tonight in my neighbor's tree wearing full camo getting ready for fall. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Just what your neighbor wants: you in his tree--at night--with a camera--after admitting you look through other people's windows. And your explanation (scout's honor) is that you're just looking for deer. Uh huh. I'm looking forward to part two of this story! [img]images/icons/laugh.gif" border="0[/img]

Wade, sounds like Spike might need your representation soon! Think you're up to it? Of course, defending peeping toms and the like won't bring in a lot of desirable business, but it should be good for a couple of good stories on the forum!

You guys made my day. What would I do without friends like you?<P>"Honest officer, I'm waiting for a deer to show up"<P>...sounds like a Pat McManus story in the making.

That reminds me..... a couple winters ago I kept getting strange "doodles" on my truck. It was like someone had been drawing or something in the dirt on the doors and along the side. But you couldn't make out what they were trying to draw. It looked like abstract art.... Then one morning I caught'em!<P>It was a moose licking the salt from the road spray off my truck! If I only could teach him to do the WHOLE THING! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img]

What camo pattern is prefered in town? Is it a house brick pattern, shake roof, LP siding, or maybe manicured lawn camo? There may be another whole market here untouched by the "real tree" company. <P>Could be "Real town" camo. Their big city "brick pattern" or "real siding" The neighbors would never even notice you spying on them, I mean hunting in their back yard.<P>I think a black suit with a yellow stripe down the center would be best then you could lay in the center of the road and wait for game to cross over you.jj

Spike: When I lived outside Glenwood Springs Col. I had to drive into town a bunch in the middle of the night to do computer crap for the BDNO's (brain dead night operators) So cool to drive down the main street, in a steady snow fall, and see a dozen mule deer on the tennis courts in the city park. Crap I didn't even know deer could play tennis ? <P>My old cocker spanial started having problems with swelling around his shoulder in those days and the vet told me he had "Tennis Elbow" for Pete's sake. (grin) I would of kicked his a*s if I had known he was playing with the deer !! It was probably priceless to of seen my face when the Vet told me about "tennis elbow"!! I can't remember my official response but it had to be something like "Sir that dog won't even chase a ball much less hit one with a tennis racket" ??? You sure he wasn't shootiung pool or something? (LOL)<P>Tex <P>Give me a shout some time OK ?

JJ, I have to admit I'm a little concerned about your well-being. If I'm not mistaken, reading your last post you were "crackin'-a-funny". Hmmmm, for someone known as "Mr. Serious" this is a big step...or are you finally getting comfortable with all of us after four plus years togther? [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]<P>Also, your precise and articulate product reviews and destriptions have been reduced to "IT ROCKS"!<P>Are you feeling okay? Can we help you out with anything? Still shaken up about your goat? Let us know Jim, you're among friends. You can let your guard down, don't worry about us taking advantage of you. We wouldn't do that, now would we guys??????<P> [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Tex,<P>I got your phone call message. I'd call you from work but I don't have your number here. Trying to get anything done from home is a fruitless effort, the second I enter the front door I get nailed with honey do's and baby doo doo's. I can't wait to go to work in the morning for the peace and quite. Just ask Silver Bullet, he came over for dinner last night and got a taste of "welcome to my world"...think he was happy to escape and go back to his house. Not sure if it was the flying food at dinner, flung at him from my son, or the wailing, ear piercing crys as dinner music.<P>Anyways come on up and see me sometime. Any other takers?

Couple things:<P>1. That is a great photo of that chick deer. She looks like she's giving Spike the raspberry.<P>2. Ever notice how once Spike chimes in on a thread (or starts one) it quickly goes downhill (but takes a great route getting there). Spike, please give your sister my best (or was it your sister-in-law).

Spike, Uh.... Wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it myself! Guess I've not been myself lately with the goat thing, Probably from lack of sleep. I'll try to recharge this week end and hopefully be back to my normal serious self next week. jj

Them deers will do crazy things. I took a guy hunting last fall and when we came in, after dark, there was a six and a little fork horn and four does standing in the drive way eating persimmons. There was a possum in the top of the tree. I guess he was shaking them down.<BR>One of the craziest things that ever happened was two winters ago. I noticed that something had been eating my cattle cubes. The sacks were not torn up like a coon will do or burrowed into like a possum will. Just a corner opened and a decent bait eaten. The day I found out what it was was one mean nasty day. I know you nothern boys will laugh but it was cold and nasty for my part of the world. Just a steady sozzle of rain and sleet just on the short side of freezing. I went into and through the barn out under the shed to check on the horses. Caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. There, on the other side of a feed trough sat a coyote about eight foot away. Coyote looked at me and I looked at him. Coyote looked out behind him through the nasty weather to the hay trap where I had my hay bales stored. I saw he was dry where every thing else was wet and icy.<BR>Durn coyote lay down and put his head on his paws like a house dog and wagged his tail at me. It wasn't a fit day out for man nor beast he was warm and dry and I didn't have the heart to do him harm.<BR>He hung around the barn till spring and never did any harm. Just eat a few pounds of cow feed. I would see him once in a while but never again like that day.<BR>BCR

I did not read the report first hand, but there was confirmed discussion at work last week about an elk that broke into the Portland, Or. zoo. Life must be tougher on the outside than I thought. It's really a jungle out there. 1minute
