They're cute, yes, but they'll eat everything

  1. I saw triplets in the woods once, back in the '80s. It was on the Bowman Lake Road between Nevada City and Truckee, California. It was the first and only time I've ever seen triplets.

    That was back before the feel-good (female) voters of California voted to outlaw the trophy hunting of mountain lions, of course. And mountain lions began eating all the adorable little Bambis. Imagine that.

  3. I had two large ones outside the bathroom window last night. Never a cougar or coyote when you need one.

    They also bring Lyme disease.

  4. I feed 8 - 12 deer corn and stock feed out on my driveway every night all winter. They stand out there waiting for me. In the spring they feed out in the hay fields and woods but in the late fall they come back when the snow gets deep.---ken

    1. With respect, I’ve often read that corn should not be fed to deer in wintertime. Deer eat buds and leaves and twigs. A quick switch to a sweet, rich, carb-heavy diet will mess up their digestive systems and may do more harm than good.
      I think it’s great that you care enough about the deer to help see them thru winter, so please don’t take this wrong. Maybe google up “deer corn winter” and see for yourself what comes up. You may find something healthier for the deer and saves money!

  5. Not much meat on them, about 20lbs at best, tenderloin medallions size of a half dollar, it's super tender, tastes far better than the finest veal imaginable.

    1. It does look like AI. Bottom deer’s snout sticks in to the room - no glass. Sliding frame removed? Maybe

  8. The next herd of timber goats. They'll be ready for the sausage grinder in 20 months.
