My sister has come to visit with us. After picking up the kids from school, we went thru a drive thur to pick up some nast-food, er, fasty-food, er, fast food.
One the way back with our stash of chicken nuggets in hand, a deer ran out in front of the truck. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP went the truck. The deer attempted to accelerate but hooves don't get much traction of pavement. Fortunately it managed to get out of the way. I had braked but had it not scrambled after hearing the horn, we would probably be having venison burgers for dinner.
Last week, Ginger saw more deer in the backyard. This time there were four. If one wanted to go deer hunting around here, they could simply sit on my back porch early in the morning with a cup of coffee and wait. The deer don't seem to see people thru the screen. If you were cold, you could even get in the hot tub. It's hot in the hot tub.

I spotted 13 deer just walking down our street today. The neighbors accused me of building a deer stand when I built the playscape. And now that it is finished, I have a great line of sight to the main grazing area...
Bambi stew, anyone?
Tell your sis "Howdy from Austin"
Wouldn't firing on the deer from the deck later allow mosquitoes to feast on your fast-food fed succulent flesh through the gaping holes in the screen?
