What i found in my backyard "off topic" (pic)

I've heard that shooting a mule deer is about like shooting a cow in a pasture, since they (supposedly) have little fear of humans, unlike whitetail deer.

Is that the case? It sure looks that way, the way they're right there in your yard, looking at you like, "You got somethin' to say to ME???"

I wonder if those antlers will burn?
Hmmmm....would muley antlers have a higher BTU rating than whitetail?
harharhar

Got this big guy with my cell phone, while hunting him, he simply waited until it was to dark and came riggt on out

I smell jerky!

Great photos!

Hmmm....well, I've never hunted mule deer, so I'll have to take your word for it.

I've talked to people who've hunted muleys and whitetails (and other big game around the world), and they claim there's no comparison. More than one have told me that whitetails are one of the wariest big-game animals on the planet.

I would love to see Wyoming one day. That place just really interests me, even more so than Montana or Idaho. The writer John McPhee says that Wyoming has more varied geology than any other place in the U.S. or (I forget which) the world.

I see stew!

A friend living near Lake Weiss, Alabama just sent me these shots from the local media. A helicopter flying overhead caught these pictures. That's a full grown deer in it's mouth! To give you a sense of scale, the stag carcass was later found and measured 11 feet. The gator was eventually caught and killed. It measured in at 28' 1". That's a lot of boots.

Yeah, what's that saying, believe half of what you see
and none of what you hear.

Read this about that gator story:

I didn't need snopes to tell me the gator pics were bogus. gator is swimming forward and the deers head is canted upward. it would be limp as a dishrag and trailing to the rear. Also the gator hanging pic is so obviously a perspective thing with the guy 20+ feet back.

Though it is not as good as the Buck, last night at around 3:00 AM I seen my porch light turn on and I took the following pictures. The Doe was after one of the pumpkins that my daughter carved. Funny, the only pumpkin that was eating was the one with the face carved in it.
