My Buddy Bubba
I know this is a little off topic but it does concern a deer. Now all of the hype about deer and human odor and smoking, well, its just hype. In the picture me and Bubba are having a smoke out on the patio. Bubba is a 2 yr old non-typical 6 point. He enjoys cigarette buts and hangs out with his buddy sambo. He ejoys cigars as well and if I am not watching he will take them right out of my mouth. Bubba is one of many of my daily visitors.

Just a word of caution.. friends had very tame deer at their house. And for no real reason they claim, a doe suddenly kicked at one of the kids. The hoof hit their jacket thank goodness, but after that they stopped feeding them. In fact one of the grandchildren later set up a tree stand on the edge of their land on a trail leading to the house and took a nice buck one year.

Cayugad,
About 20 years ago when I thought that I was invincible, my uncle Vernon who was about 90 had shot a deer out his kitchen window with his .22 rifle. I see him right after that down at the gas station where all the locals hang out and drink coffee and talk about everything except politics and religion. He asked me to help him hang it up and to my surprise he had dragged it over to his out building. I opened the door and flipped the light switch and wow.....you talk about one pissed off buck.... he was out for retribution. About 10 minutes later I came out all bloody from the battle and might I say with a few broken bones in my left hand, but never the less I emerged the victory. Do you know how many licks it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll lolli-pop, me neither, but I expect it took that many stabs with a hunting knife to finish this ole boy. Upon further observation I discovered that dear old uncle Vernon just creased his skull a little and knocked him out. Uncle Vernon apologized but I just had to laugh because it sure was funny. On the serious side I am a Wildlife Biologist and I really disapprove of people making pets out of wild game. They become defenseless and vulnerable to humans.
