Does and bucks

Sunday there were more bucks with lost antlers! This is Prince William. He's probably lost this antler in the past 24 hours, and we won't be able to identify him. 




Joseph Brian was out feeding them. You can see them waiting and watching from down the hill. They each get a mouthful, not much in the grand scheme of things, but since we feed the birds...


Hurry up, man! 



This must be the last of the trailcam videos of bucks with antlers.

Sadly we've a buck with a dislocated ankle. We'll see how he does. At first I thought it was a doe, but Joseph Brian spotted antler buds. He could run, which is a good sign. We shall watch for him.

Maggie last about 9 years  (2011 - 2020) with a similar injury. We made sure she got her fair share of rations:

Not a good Monday. I was feeling dizzy and nauseous, visited the loo frequently, and had chills. I cancelled my Tuesday afternoon client, JB cancelled his physio appointment. I went to bed and had a nap. JB has a persistent cough. What a pair! This morning I am better, but I'll take it easy.

Oh Jenn hope you are JB are able to shake off quickly what ever this aliment is. I've discovered that our local walking group has snowshoes similar to yours, to borrow to try out.

Where I live in Wisconsin, hunting deer sheds is a almost a sport. People will go into other people's woods to look for antler sheds.

Over the years I've found some wonderful sheds and old sheds that I painted for art. I found neat skulls also.

I hope you feel better soon!

I hadn't realized that you provided nourishment for the deer. Hope the health continues to mend.
