You know, deer aren’t as stupid as they look. Apparently they’d rather starve than get shot.
I live with the wild animals among many miles of state forest, town forest, and federal conservation land. No hunting allowed. Even the coyotes haven’t dented the deer herd.
They’d dig if there was something they liked. Besides, they were munching on stuff they didn’t like before the snow fell.
Rutting is a good thought. It’s just that snow has begun early and they’re already eating things they don’t like.
And believe me, I know what they like. Top of their list is whatever I spent money on. Which I don’t anymore, obviously.
When the big buck got killed on the road last winter I thought the herd would dwindle or move on but it’s just as big as ever with at least six of them.
Yup, does look a little poorly.
“This deer does look thin.”
Just think of it as the new all-natural ICE diet
Nice snow picture.
LOL, well Meg you did it again! WOO HOO
LOL..All in the timing.
Hubby wants to know why you are training those hawks to eat fish!
(seriously, I wouldn’t buy any expensive fish to feed the hawks with, either. I know bald eagles surely love carp. Didn’t know redtails did)
Agreed. I began buying feeder fish which are small goldfish for feeding to larger pets. Generally they’re 10 for a dollar and I buy a load of them every year.
No hunting here or I’d be having redtail stew.
It's really true: dark chocolate makes your coronary arteries open up and increases heart blood flow. In a two-week trial, 39 adults ate either 550 milligrams per day of dark chocolate (with a cocoa content of 70 percent or greater), which is full of flavonoids, or the same amount of white chocolate, which has no flavonoids.
By the end of the study, the coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) of the dark chocolate eaters had significantly improved. If you want the same health effect, remember to go easy on the chocolate: 550 milligrams is only about 0.0194 of an ounce.

“550 milligrams is only about 0.0194 of an ounce.”
How many M&M’s is that?
Now that qualifies as a Christmas Treat
I thought that might help convince you.
I am going to hunt for some good dark chocolate next shopping trip..It’s for my health..of course.
;o)
Where does one find this?
I am feeding raccoons cat food along with the usual sunflower seeds because one was lame and I feared he might not make it for awhile.
.I know managed herd thinning is essential to keep some deer from starving.Better a meal on someone’s table with a quick shot than starving to death.
I couldn’t shoot a deer..though if they were destroying my landscape plants..I might feel like it! My dad went deer hunting.
Go to the seedy part of the city . . .
No. Kidding.
I get my fix at the pharmacy. It’s actually on the candy counter if you can believe that!
Some supermarkets carry Lindt but sometimes the less than 70% stuff with more sugar and less flavonoids. If you know what you’re looking for, it’s easier to find, hence the photo above.
