Six months can make a big difference. In June, the grass was green with trees that were full of leaves and the whitetail deer males still had velvet on their antlers. Now on this cold day, the trees are bare with snow on the ground and the woods are fill with hunters trying to shoot the deer which calmly stood in my yard earlier in the year.
The Hunt is On
The summertime deer, like this buck with alters still in velvet, get chased by me on the lawn mowing or when I am walking my path to the pond, but today the deer were chased by men wearing orange clothes in an attempt to shoot one during the opening day of deer hunting.
Deer on the Run
I’m happy the regular deer gun season is over so I can hike through the woods again but I bet the deer are happier, especially the big bucks that the hunters are always after.
