now we only have a foot or less of snow on the lawn and woods. It is solid ICE!! I was just out throwing corn for the deer and walking on top of the snow. I mean it is a block of ice all the way to the ground.
I can not remember if I told you or not but I have caught 12 squirrels, one skunk and a coon so far. I just caught another grey squirrel but just turned it loose as I have a handle on the squirrel population now. At least until Mary heads south and that is tomorrow morning
We had nine deer out there last night and one of the guys only had three legs. its right rear leg was gone at the elbow, or what ever they call it on a deer. It was sad to see, probably from some clown during hunting season. It looked well fed and has made it through the winter. My buddy Dave has had several of them in the past few years. One I called tripod.
It seems to be getting along ok but the big does are pestering it a bit, swatting at it but they are doing the same thing to the other deer too. Natures way.
I saw a bald eagle just down the road the other day and the buzzards are back. I saw a robin today so spring has to be around the corner. It is warming into the 50's in the next few days and all those dry ponds are full and the river is up.
I saw a squirrel on my feeder that had a horrible bulge on its side. It was as big as a dang lemon! If Mary were not here I woud have shot the sucker. Maybe tomorrow if I see it again.
