Preparing for the storm

While I was feeding, haying and watering this morning, preparing for the days ahead of freezing temperatures and possibly, snow, I saw at least twenty deer feeding in the back pasture. Way too many for my pastures to support. I picked the biggest doe and made a perfect, clean shot, as she fell straight to the ground. More development moving to the country force the deer to move onto us and eat our crops and pastures, our battle is continual. It's another job to keep the numbers under control that helps them stay healthy as well. And a bonus that we love to eat a natural, organic product. I taught my kids to hunt, clean, cook and eat everything that you kill. You will think about that before you pick up a gun.
