it is that time of year. He walked out of the brush about 40 ft away while Carol and i were feeding the Hens, looked at us and walked off again. I just know that black ba#tard will be be trying to get into the feed bin now that he has smelled it and i know that is what made him show up so i will keep my flare gun handy and singe his azz rather than have to shoot him, well the first time anyway
This year i am just soooooooo po-ed at all the critters trashing our flowers, fruit trees, grapes etc that they best take the hint as i'm downright crabby. I know it mostly comes from not having the dogs around and i absolutely cannot afford to put up the kind of high fence that is needed.
Now we cannot even let the hens loose until i am sure the Bear problem is solved.
Some of the neighbors feed the Deer and like them, i get that as i would love to have them around the yard but we cannot afford that luxury as the garden, berries, nuts and fruit are very necessary to our financial survival. I will look for an electric fencer soon but that will be a damn nuisance as we would have to open and close it to move around the yard. There would need to be about 1000 ft of fence.
There has been an undersized Doe here all this winter and spring, she was orphaned last fall and had a rough winter, i could not bring myself to bother here and she would stand with 10-15 ft of me while i worked around the yard. Now she looks much healthier, has brought several buddies in and the Roses, Raspberries, Blueberries, Grapes, as well as numerous flowers are trashed......i'm getting soft but that may change
I am legally entitled to hunt them in season and what i really should do is put an ad in the paper bragging about shooting Bambi.........unless enough bleeding hearts donate money for my fence?
