This year we had deer hang around our building site spring, summer, and fall. In particular there have been a doe and her two fawns (now pretty mature). As mad as I got at them when they raised cain with my garden I could not pull the trigger on them this fall. I guess they became almost like part of the family, sometimes going out to the shop in the morning I would walk within 20 yards of them, Once I could almost touch one of the fawns.
So, you can call me a girly man too I guess. There just didn't seem to be any sport in shooting them. We are going without venison this year. To me its no biggie.
