Lol... Yes the picture is a result of flash and low light in the house. There are actually two deer that come in to his house. ALso, if you remember a post a while ago, I told you about how a baby deer nuzzled up to him as he slept. These are not the same deer. He thinks that the original is already dead (because of hunting season). But for some reason, these new deer know him as the deer man.
But yes, he has actually had 'that' deer tick poison. he had it for a couple of months. It's apparently acceptable to him. And for anyone that has ever visited Arkansas, you can attest, that if you simply look on the ground, ticks or more prevalent than fire ants. Ticks are EVERY where in AK. That's one of the reasons he has chickens run free on his land (they eat ticks).
Also, sadly, the pit bull is gone. I'm sorry as well. But I, as well as him as well, determined that this dog, with the aggressive nature, should be shot. It absolutely broke his heart, and yes, he cried on the phone to me as he told me the story. I actually deleted the original post. ...But, there's something that has to be done with a dog that wants to kill and mame everything, including a human mother (mine) on site. It was a very sad passing. But, he felt it the right thing to do before something more crazy happened, like a death in the family. He really loved that dog. I explained all this earlier in the other post, but deleted it because I felt it would be too graphic.
