Dove also know when its dove season as well. LOL
LOL! Must be a “Deer Crossing” sign there.
Turkeys are pretty much the same. It’s amazing how these dumb birds are able to consult the calendar and vanish.
Rats with antlers. Kill ‘em all and put them in a stew.
I live on six wooded acres backed by some state forest land around Lake Talquin for which there is not only no public access, it’s so densely wooded I can’t even walk through most of it. For most of the year there are few deer here as there is little to no grass. But during deer season, they are practically wall-to-wall. I see them in daylight. They consume every bit of grass around my house and leave churned up tracks everywhere. As soon as deer season is over, they leave. Don’t tell me they don’t understand hunting season and where there won’t be any hunters.
We have wild turkeys in my suburban neighborhood, like overgrown pigeons. I never was able to find them in areas you could hunt them, but they’re all over the Sacramento burbs..
I am so glad to know DNA is continuing to evolve, at least among deer. I have not one doubt at all that it is not, absolutely not doing the same in humans.
Maybe hunting season should change every year, like Ramadan?
the animals would still know, I believe. LOL
We lived on three wooded acres in Southeastern Pa, Dad had no hunting signs posted. Sure enough the deer would come. I remember waking up on hunting season Saturday to the sounds of gunfire. Lol
“Maybe hunting season should change every year, like Ramadan?’
I keep offering to my “hunting” buddies to come on over and sit on my porch. They can use the bathroom, the refrigerator, the spare bed. Just cut me in for some sausages! What a bunch of wimps. I don’t have a deer rifle and no desire to look my meat in the eye. (I prefer seeing it in its natural habitat, a Styrofoam package.) My neighbor’s husband used to sit on his back porch in his wheelchair with a few beers. He kept their freezer so stocked that his wife was still using meat he’d shot a year after he died.
That is EXACTLY how it was for us when we had our rural TN property. The man who owned the property before us was an avid hunter and the deer disappeared during hunting season. We bought the place and posted around the perimeter. Starting from the first day of deer season they were everywhere. We’d have 12 - 15 in the back yard at one time.
I want to hunt ‘Spyglass Hill’ golf course.
The Bucks are so big you think they are Mulies, giant animals.
On one of the greens they just lay there while you putt.
Thinking they know they are safe.
I think they just get stuck in a rut.
“I want to hunt ‘Spyglass Hill’ golf course”
You’ll want to use the shootin’iron.
More than anything, the deer seem to know the safe zones.........
Like my 3 acre field next to the road.Once they leave that there invisible
“Kill ‘em all”.
Not necessarily but, helps in understanding your screen name
Same here! Bucks and does litter the road dead in their rut craze now, can’t remember what traffic is for these 6wks.
