    Default Whitetail Deer in my parents yard

    Well I was over my parents and they were excited to tell me that from the forest behind there house a group of five does, three fawns, and two buks have been grazing in there garden and eating the crabapples and apples from there trees. I gave them an apple lick block and a salt block and set them under the trees spaced about ten feet apart and poured a bottle of Stump Licker on an old log that has fallen down.
    They were amazed as last evening at about 7pm the deer came out and were licking the blocks and the big buck was breaking up the log with the stump licker on it and eating the bark (the log has been there for about two years). They own three acres of land that butts up against a forest and the deer lay under the tree in the shade and snack on the apples about twenty yard from their house. They love having the deer there so its nice for them.
    No I don't want to shoot them the taste of venison would be nice.
    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    We get deer in our front, side, and back yards, not allowed to kill them per the wife and kids. Neighbors want me to as they are eating there grapes and flowers, ahhhhhh, sometimes they are just nice to watch.

    They are so thick around the house now not even my beagle raises his head when they pass by. Had a fawn in the flowerbed one morning and watched out the window until it went home to momma. The only time I can remember TDW not running whatever out of the flowers.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.
