I am not upset with this lady at all. I was upset about being caught off-guard and not knowing how to respond to somone that I do not wish to offend, but at the same time feeling torn because my feelings are important too. I only learned that in the past few years by the way - that my feelings...

Quote: One of the things that I strangely miss about my hometown, Asheville, NC, is everyone pulling over to the side of the road for funeral processions. I've seen big burly men get out of their vehicles, remove their caps and bow their heads. It's touching. I don't have a problem with...

Quote: Love you Sheila!

Quote: Not to stir my own pot, at all! but I do have a genuine question for you. A simple question from a non-hunter to a hunter. How is my feeding the deer different from the hunters feeding the deer? They surely aren't able to kill every deer that comes to their feeders and their...

We live way outside of town. My DH is a police officer, so we are very aware of gun laws. I myself own a 22 rifle and a shotgun; mostly for my own personal protection, but also for the protection of my animals. The property is well posted on the north and east sides, where we are less...

Thanks y'all for your input. I wanted to point out that there is not a an overpopulation of deer in the parts at this time, that I know of. We have natural predators still. There is not a large herd on this place. I think perhaps 4 does, 2 yearlings and the buck, but I've never seen the buck...

I know I don't own the deer, nature does. I have no control over their fate, only my own. I am just trying to rack up as much good karma in this lifetime as I can. Offering the deer sanctuary pleases and comforts me. I might feel different if I knew that this lady needed the deer to feed...

Quote: It took alot of brainstorming on my part to come up with a place where I could feed the deer and put out a mineral block for them without the cows being able to get to it, but I finally did figure out a place where the cows never go. Maybe I should move the feed just a bit further...

Quote: I realize deer don't respect property lines and it's hard for me to explain...but it's okay if the deer cross onto her place and she shoots them. Just not on this land, this place where I have found peace and serenity for the first time in my life. I'd like to think that the deer are...

Quote: Neighbor relations are important to me; particularly because I have to consider my DH's feelings; but these deer are important to me too. They give me a reason to smile every day. I just talked it over with DH. He abides by my feelings, as I do his. He has told me that, knowing...

I'm very upset right now and need to vent. Please, no flaming or I will ask for this thread to be closed in a heartbeat. TY There is an elderly neighbor lady that my DH's family has known for 40+ years. She was very helpful to DH's family when his mom was sick, and at other times. Despite...
