Multiple deer showed up here @home this evening, which I previously thought about getting out earlier today with the thought of looking for a button specifically to harvest.
Well, I didn't make it out, probably because I wasn't highly motivated to do so deep down inside myself.
To be very honest with you all, I'm still struggling today with the fact that more than half of our resident deer (our local deer herd) are still missing and presumed dead at this point from the disease.
Just a real sad situation and difficult to come to terms with at times, especially when I think of the valid effort, time, money and hard work I put into helping grow a quality and healthy
herd, which this year should've been the best year out of the past six, or since I've been living here.
I mentioned before the hunting season actually began that I would not be harvesting any
from out of the county I live in this year, due to the severe EHD outbreak, and I've kept to my word, but man, seeing those buttons pop-up on my cellphone Tactacam app surely made my mouth pucker right up with a mouth full of saliva when I first saw them, feeding at the feed-station this evening.
Anyway, on the upside of things, you can bet that I will be spending a bunch more time hunting the damn coyotes this winter within my neck of the woods here real soon!
