On a lighter side

[Ckbrew]

A friend of mine who grew conventional crops said he made a perimeter with poles, then ran two single threads of monofilament fishing line, one at 3 feet, one at 8 inches. His rational was that the deer can not see the line, but will feel it either with their nose or foot. This confuses them and being cautious, they will not cross the line where they can feel something but can not see it. He was very confident that this worked and did it every year.

Attempts are being made here in some quarters to completely wipe out the deer. It is feasible to do so in some areas but not in others. Around where I live it's just not possible.

How do you outdoor growers cope with these. Here one of these things will eat a mature plant to the ground in one sitting. I am not a fan of these.

I live in Atlanta, we have a whole herd of these landscape trimmers running around out neighborhood. Sometimes as many as a dozen in my front yard. One of my neighbors took one down last year with a crossbow (which is legal to do). They have trampled the lawn with their tiny hoofs to the point that it will not require aeration this year. They only have two natural enemies, coyotes and automobiles..

DEER Season in Vermont
The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room with Bob, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.
The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot.
They said, "Man, what happened to you? He said, "Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."
The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.
They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful! He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night."
The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said. They couldn't believe it. They said, "Man, what happened?"
He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night.. Bob sat up and watched me all night."
With age comes wisdom.

SW is exactly my exact type of humor. Exactly exact. I still cannot laugh at a joke but this dudebroman is dudebroman canon.
I do not know who is paying attention to the thumb I just gave out.

With what we do with computers, these days hand drawing is becoming a lost art.
I did architecture for work. Learned how to use a lead holder to do drawings. I love the look of hand drawn blueprints.

Thanks Bowhunterwoody . My problem is I can't freehand draw for squat! So I pulled up cartoon drawings on google and blew
the pictures up in scale as my guide. Pigs, angel wings etc. Give me a drafting table and I'm good, ask me to freehand draw and I suck! <lol> . I tried to paint some eyes and a smile on it and was never satisfied, painted back over in pink, still has no face
It was the winter for whirligigs, made another of a loon with 2 babies following it, all bobbed up and down independently on a cam shaft.
They have a big whirligig annual event up in Nova Scotia I'd love to go to someday.

How about Redneck stew?

[Bowhunterwoody]

Hey man, that's great!

They are going to make jerk jerky, I assume.
