Are you going to tame Bambi so he is easier to shoot?

Just asking.

no need. He is in bow range most of the time. And you only need an eraser to kill bambi

One of the locals here says it's easy to hunt deer up here in the foothills: just load your chain link fence with Cheetos.

I don't know if he was kidding or not. Deer, however, are considered major pests.

Stonykill, guess Chickie mama got used to her ducklings playing and sitting on water - she doesn't look stressed at all.

We had the same problems with kangaroos when I lived in the bush. City folk were mortified that we would kill Skippy.

SCG, how did the rat hunt go last night?

Rats were a no show again last night. However, this morning, BF and I were cleaning up after breakfast and getting ready to leave for work when...

BF says "I THINK YOUR RAT IS BACK!"

Me, squinting: "No, I think that's a squirrel."

BF: "Remember when you thought the bobcat in the trap was a housecat? This is your rat. Get the gun."

He got a shot off at it, but missed. It went under the dog house. We argued for a few minutes over whether we should attempt to bludgeon it to death or not. Verdict: Yes. Risk being late to work. He lifted, I held the shovel. The rat, already freaked out by the shot, flew out from under the dog house and ran under the goat house.

I wonder if it's coming out during the day because of more food and because it's been so rainy or because I've been out at night?
