I think my wife would have been fine with me shooting the neighbor, she really liked those bucks, even if they ate her roses....
When is neighbor season, anyway?
Whenever you find out they are liberal...?
Thanks for the ping!
A cousin of mine, who lives near Rushford, Minnesota, sent me this photo a few weeks ago, and said this scene was photographed in that locale. Rushford is in
Fillmore County, on the Iowa border.
So did your friend say it was a deer farm?
Or just some guy setting up a good hunting season for his friends hiding in the woods?
Regarding my msg of a few minutes earlier, about this scene being photographed near Rushford, Minnesota:
Taking a closer look at the trees, I’m inclined to doubt that location. I’m familiar with that part of the state, having lived near Rushford during my boyhood years (1931-40), and remember the woodlands there being almost exclusively deciduous hardwoods, with a scattering of scrubby dwarf junipers in cleared areas, especially on south and west facing slopes.
The pics were taken last year by a friend of mine at Lake Metigoshe, Bottineau, North Dakota. Up in the Turtle Mountains (yes, ND has mountains lol) Wife and I used to camp just down the road at a small park called Strawberry Lake. Imagine my surprise when I saw these!
Truly stuning
You don’t think that maybe global warming has dramatically effected the type of trees that can now grow there?
Ok, OK, I’m joking, really, I am....LOL
It looks like someone drove down the road and dropped a series of feed piles...you can see something in the foreground....likely they know it’s feeding time.
Those deer look mighty fat. The ones here in Ohio really get thin as the winter goes on. You can’t get near them because thinning the herds during hunting season teaches them to be skittish.
Hunting is good for the deer and for the hunters’ tummies. Hubby and I don’t hunt and don’t have a taste for venison, but we do love hunters.
A deer left her fawn outside our dining room window last year, and it was delightful watching the little thing from time to time that day.
That’s totally cool.
My wife would have us adopting the thing and before I would know it, we would be feeding it and treating it like our dog....LOL
Neat pictures! I’ve never seen so many deer in one place either. I love deer (not as food).
There are two people standing at the far end of the deer in the second photo and one of them looks like Santa’s helper scouting for next years team. My guess is someone was feeding them from a snowmobile. I took a photo of 12 deer in my neighbors yard a couple of months ago. We live 5 minutes from downtown Eureka Ca...
A friend sent me these pictures about a week ago. He said that they were shot near Boise (where he lives).
He sent them to a list that has about 200 people on it mostly from northern California.
You mean that there still is a Eureka?
I thought that Eureka fell in the ocean last weekend.
It knocked down the chimneys that survived the previous 40 big earthquakes plus a couple of old brick buildings in old town are damaged and condemned..
Sounds about like what hit Pacific St in Santa Cruz in ‘89
