Bucks Fighting

[Charmin]

Excellent photo encounter!

Now all you need to do is to arrange those cattle cakes in a manner so they lead into the shed, and as soon as they go in, shut the door, ''Presto'' venison is awaiting. ,

If only it was that easy, Old Digger....lol.....I don't believe I'd want to get hemmed up in the shed with that old buck. I was glad to have a fence between me and them, especially when they locked horns. I don't think they knew what was going on around them, and all the other deer stopped to watch. Our horses and donkey even walked over to the fence to watch the fight! It's funny how animals will notice something like that.

You know I got a new 50# recurve, and it will sail that arrow dead on every time, so....nah, long as Safeway has hamburger meat on sale and I can afford it that ole buck's safe from me. We never hunted for sport, always for subsistence.

We hunt, but it's to fill our freezer....none of the meat ever goes to waste.
This old buck has been in my husbands cross hairs a couple of times, but my daughter always talked him out of shooting it.
He'll probably live to a ripe old age and enjoy plenty of cookies along the way.

Roy...That picture that Old Digger posted is just what it is! The deer love it! And it has a lot of protein and really helps them through the hard winter months.
And Yes, I'm in the Tallgrass. And we see the buffalo everyday. As a matter of fact, the cowboys are gathering the buffalo right now. Next week they will be running them through the corrals, branding the new calves, and inoculating them.

Roy I just scatter it out on the ground, and I do the same with my creep feed and corn.
I used to make piles of it, but the deer will stay longer if they have to 'forage' for it.
And if you spread it out, more than one buck can feed at a time.
