Yesterday I walked out of my house and came face to face with a large deer.I think the lack of food has made them more aggresive. Here in central Wisconsin alot of the fields are already plowed over and many water supplies are dried up. My bird baths are empty every morning.

I found a hive of africanized bees today in the yard. No deer.

I just had them jump through an 8 ft high fence - the top three feet is wildlife netting attached to bamboo poles, it’s very tough stuff. Well to get into my garden they jumped into one side, only bending down the top three feet, but when they jumped out — took out a whole side of netting and poles! 40ft of the stuff. Couldn’t find any trace of the stuff anywhere, so I guess they took it along with them.

They have been extra awful this year. But we have a special problem in that the near-by collage has a reserve which has caused the deer pop to explode! The tree huggers don’t want the deer thinned, so these things are getting intrusive and dangerous. The first little Jersey darling that gets charged by a deer on campus and we’ll see the parents change their tune. That or the students smacking into the deer with their Lexus’s.

The rain on Wednesday night going into Thursday was a blessing. We haven't had rain like that since last fall.

At least in the Stevens Point area.
