Deer season

If only I had a rifle...
...and a hunting license...
...and permission to discharge a firearm within the city limits...
...I'd be eating venison right now.

I had the perfect shot at a buck from my middle bedroom window. But I used a camera instead of a rifle.

And not just one, but TWO!

They wandered around for a long time, and grazed a little bit. They spent most of their time at my neighbor's house across the field. Then one of them decided to lay down and take a rest in the middle of the field. They had no fear.

They didn't seem to be doing much, so I went back to what I was doing in the den.

A short while later, I see a head of antlers pass by my FRONT window, not more than ten feet from me. I lost sight of him in front of my garage. I ran and grabbed my camera and caught one of them using my perennial garden as his personal red carpet.

By the way, I think this may be the creature eating my pumpkins out front...


Be careful out on those roads, people. The deer are on the move.
