Suburban Deer
Suburban deer……
How about this for “scouting”? The state Div. of Highways widened my road about 4-6 months ago. They still have their silt fencing up…..and I JUST got access to a small parcel of hunting land……right across from my house. I didn’t have time to hunt, this morning (I did….but not if I shot one!)…..so I thought I’d sit and see where the deer are coming out of the woods to drink from the pond across the street. Now….my 3 acres I own are surrounded by 24 on each side….that is uninhabited. But….I DO have neighbors out front.
Picture this:
I’m sitting on a little tripod stool…..15 feet from the side of the road…….full camo…..in a hedgerow……behind the silt fence.
I’ve seen as many as 11 deer at the pond (right across the road from my driveway)….but none, this morning (although I had to leave pretty early, for work). I watched a BEAUTIFUL NC sunrise with my son, though…….so all was good.
I wonder, to an outsider, how funny I would have seemed……….?? Do you think I love these animals….and hunting them????
