Deer

General Information from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries

Do Not Feed Deer

Department regulation makes it legal to hunt deer on locally owned property, deer from October 24 through October26, may be culled from property owners statewide. This prohibition does not include areas including the planting of agronomic crops or wildlife or wildfowl food plots.


This is what we received in the last week’s mail

No way are we going to be teaching kids today or let any of of our boarders ride. I’m going to be dressed in Orange and piss off the hunters

Hya Trinity. Thieving little bleeduz, ain't they?
My camera is not up to standard for this outdoor animal photography.
There are 8 foxes in all which I have seen here, right by my house, someone else says 9, I have photographed 7 in on frame.
They will eat anything, I buy cheapo supermarket stuff for them.

Hya again Bella. This moggy is absolutely massive, I snapped it this morning on my patio fence with my little camera.
You cannot really tell how big from the photo.
Can you improve the picture for me please?

[Major]

At this exact moment in time a buzzard is soaring over to my left.
Impossible to get a photo, shame.






This is a library photo.

Major, I hunt deer once a year and a few geese and pheasants, but I have never tried a turkey buzzard burger

I shoot geese, I always carry a spade with me to dig them out of the ground when they hit it. :major:

Where I pheasant shoot they put down (4,000), four thousand of which most are bred, reared on sight

There are that many geese it is unbelievable.

The ancestral origins of the Maine Coon are unknown. There are only theories and folktales. One such folktale involves Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, who was executed in 1793. The story goes that before her death, Marie Antoinette attempted to escape France with the help of Captain Samuel Clough. She loaded Clough's ship with her most prized possessions, including six of her favorite long-haired cats. Although Marie Antoinette did not make it to the United States, her pets safely reached the shores of Wiscasset, Maine, where they mated with short-haired breeds and evolved into the modern breed of the Maine Coon

Another folktale involves Captain Charles Coon, an English seafarer who kept long-haired cats aboard his ships. Whenever Coon's ship would anchor in the New England ports, the felines would exit the ship and mate with the local feral cat population. When long-haired kittens began appearing in the litters of the local cat population, they were referred to as one of "Coon's cats”

OK I like the second tail.....erm tale
