Is it time yet?

I just looked out the back door to find one of my hens in a deep discussion with a deer over who was going to get the last piece of a crab apple.

While they were occupied in their discussion I stepped quietly out the door and closed in to about 25 yards before the deer lifted her head and gave me a look, then went back to eating apples. I could have slipped behind the hedge and killed her with a spear!

I had left the shotgun in the house just because she was visible from the Judges' house, and season is not open for two months. The temptation might have overwhelmed me.

They are thick this year and it is about time to get out the 3-d targets and start practicing with the bows.

My boss got his 3rd deer of the year just before Independence Day. His weapon is a Chevy Cruze.
I told him he needs to replace his front bumper with a cow catcher.

Any thing within 50 yards from the road counts as "road kill".

I am impressed you have trained chickens to distract deer for you. That is awesome!

Bhohahaha...Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.......

(Huh, wonder how that works?....sounds like a cool plan...wish I would have thought of it.....)

If you could understand animal lingo it probably went something like...

Chicken: "Okay smart guy. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Huh? Come on. Which was it?"

Since chickens are prey animals their eyes can't give them away even if one is watching KYrat sneaking up. Kinda like that girl in seventh grade. You never really knew who she was looking at.

**kyratshooter** · 07-10-2015, 11:50 AM

Yea but that girl in the seventh grade turned out to be a cross eyed lesbian. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

She was really looking at the girl sitting beside you.

My chickens have this way of cocking their heads to one side and staring at you with that one beady eye. It always makes me feel like they are sizing me up and are disappointed because I am too big for a one bite snack.

I have also noted that they will sneak up from behind and get under my feet but if I am facing them they stay 10 feet away. Tey are smarter than their garden pea sized brain would indicate.

Then once in a while they will do something stupid, like forgetting where the door of their pen is located.

Shotgun? Arrows? Did Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee not teach lethal unarmed combat techniques to use on deer?

**Rick** · 07-12-2015, 08:35 AM

That's not even fair. Chuck Norris doesn't kill deer. They commit suicide when they see him.

Could Ray Mears show the use of a blow gun and poison darts? Could Blade demonstrate the techniques for slashing the throat of a deer with a combat bowie knife?

**Batch** · 07-12-2015, 12:05 PM

Blade would just dress as shrub and let the deer eat him. Then slice his way out from the inside there by cutting the deer into his choice of cuts and ending with a brain tanned rawhide hong!

**crashdive123** · 07-12-2015, 03:31 PM

Blade wouldn't get off the couch in his Momma's basement unless it was to go get another Hot Pocket sammich that she made for him.
