Antelope baby! I startled this one and he took off running as I snapped the picture. You can get an idea of how tiny they are by the white golf ball close by.

More antelope just for fun...

They get kind of odd looking when full grown, the babies are much cuter

Good morning DMC! Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother’s Day Rene!

Yes, a Chrysanthemum. And it's beautiful!

Thank you! I love the color.

Hi Mark! Mums might be deer proof, but antelope love them. I learned that the hard way. But maybe I'm the only one with antelope around



Happy Mom's Day Riv

Your DH and mine must have similar minds...mine is talking about getting me a lawn mower I can operate on my own.

No Antelope here!

The first Christmas we were married, my MIL gave me a pressure cooker, hubs gave me an Electric Wok. His youngest sister said "if that's the kind of presents you get once your married, I'm never getting married!"

I love gifts like that!

Friend shot one and served antelope stew for lunch at the beagle club - it was horrible. Must have been a testosterone laden old buck. Even I, who will eat most anything, did not finish my bowl.

Wow ! you pegged that nail on the head Sour. You can't eat deer that are in that condition . I don't like the old bucks but a friend of mine had a nuisance permit and could go out and shoot deer all year . You wouldn't believe how good the meet was when they were not breeding . I made one whole deer into smoked dry sausage . Another into jerky and smoked that also .

Thanks Mark!

That's one part of living at the golf course I miss...seeing all the antelope, deer and other assorted animals. Now the badgers I do not miss, those things are nasty!

The rain changed to snow today then back to rain. Don't ever move to Ohio .

Do they dig holes all over ?

You could move to Wyoming! Most of our rain doesn't change to snow...it just snows 6+ months of the year.

The ones I saw around the yard (it was mostly scrub) liked to enlarge the prairie dog holes. And then eat them.
