come to wyoming dale. I will give you all the deer you want!!!!!!!!!!!

thats a comon every day thing in my back pasture or my yard as much as a cow or even my cats or my dogs.

they roam pavillion all summer and all winter long.

I stayed up all night in july and august guarding my 2 acers of sweet corn from them things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let me just say one thing. I hate deer. they are a pain in the butt espeically on a guy trying to make a living.

I wish they had a hunting season in july and august.

I drove my neigbors nuts for 3 months with the propane cannons or the orchard cannons the game and fish gave me to defend my sweet corn with.

it did not good they even crapped beside a radio I sat out in my corn on a drop cord from the shop.


enfact as I was working on my combine cleaning my settlement bowl on the gas tank.

I had 30 go by me in the pasture not more than hundred feet from me.

the great thing after having cows home since august. my pasture looks like the sahra desert so the deer left me alone today.

we nomally have like a bout 10 20 to 30 head bunches of muly deer all year around pavillon.

and a good size buck down in town. theres the school herd that lays out on the school lawns under the trees. about 10 head of them suckers.

and when we cut hay we have to watch for fawns so we don't run one though the conditioner on the swather.

mom has run them off her flowers all summer long and the raised garden beds.

I have slept in summers past on the lawn and been wakended in the night by deer farting out side my tent.


you need any more deer dale. I would glady ship you over 200 of the pest.

we consder them a pretor here. even if the game and fish doesn't

Ok, enough! I am flying over next year with my bow. Where can I stay while I hunt your farm?

Those look like they would look best next to mashed potatoes, gravy and vegtable of your choice.

Slow may be you should open the ranch to tourests as a Deer Farm. You could still plant your sweet corn to draw the deer, but sell admision to let the tourests come and view them!

Due to Canyons on either side of 'our' Mesa, and a 5,000 Acre Ranch ~600' down below us that Topographically isolates us, we lucked into a lil Nature Preserve of our own. Rancher's Fields all around us, and indigenous Chow on our Land, attract the Critters, as does the Water running in both side Canyons. Our personal 'best' was a Herd of 26 Animals a few years ago. They also like to rear up and snack on Junipers, and cause them to resemble big, trimmed Mushrooms.

Both of these pix are from inside the House, but the 2nd pic is Telephoto and cropped. In the first pic, 'Buck' Owens was about 20' away. They're so used to us, they just stop and stare us down when we're walking the ~2,000' long Driveway.

I might set up a lil Remote Control Webcam someday and let folks share the view.

I figure the only possible Garden will be a 'Compound' inside some 8' Pressure Treated Fence Posts strung with multiple, electrified Fence Wires that won't compromise the panoramic views.

My Grandparents lived West of Yosemite outside Coulterville CA by the memorably-named 'Jackass Ridge'. Lil Log Cabin; Hand Crank Telephone; Wood Stove; and a neat lil Canned Ham Trailer that likely started my Lifelong Trailer interest. Fantastic memories of that then very-remote Gold Mining area...

I'm jealous I live in the 'burbs, although 3 deer have been sighted in the neighborhood 3 times in the past 20 years I have lived here.

I have to go to my sister's house 30 minutes away to see the deer in the corn/soybean field behind her house.

But, come to think of it, three people have been injured and 3 deer killed in vehicle/deer collisions about 10 miles south of me in the past couple of weeks.

Maybe I should take an evening trip next week 10 miles south of me, carefully of course!!!

My neice & her daughters put out pumpkins. The local moose cow & her family loved them. She lives in Eagle River, AK.
