Well put! I agree with you. In my area, almost every family has had a vehicle destroyed by a collision with a deer. It is necessary to drive very slow as soon as it starts to get dark in the evening and until it gets fully light in the morning or else there is a very good chance of hitting a deer. Of the deer I see hit along the roads, they are almost always fawns or does.

I have lived on the same property for over 50 years, and I would guess that there are 10 times the deer now around here than there were when I was a kid. I believe that this is because of a lack of hunting pressure (too many people and houses in the area now), the fact that except for a few exceptions it is illegal to harvest females, the fact that it is illegal and impractical to have a loose dog that would defend his home area, and because some people in the area actively feed the deer. I have found that unless I build high, tight fences, I might as well not plant anything, because the deer will just eat or destroy anything they come across, even right up by my house.

I hear coyotes fairly often, but I have not seen one for a long time around here. When I was a kid, I saw coyotes trying to get a newborn calf, which caused the cow to try to stomp the coyotes, but instead she stepped on and killed her calf. I hunted coyotes a lot that year, but only got 2. They move fast and are really hard to hit, if you ever see them at all.

I really doubt that the coyotes we have around here would ever try to tangle with a full grown deer, but they might go after fawns, which is fine with me. I think the coyotes eat rodents and other small animals and help the magpies clean up the various roadkilled animals.

I have heard of packs of dogs chasing and presumably killing deer. There was a write-up in the paper a year or two ago about a pack of dogs in the next county killing sheep, calves and other dogs, so they probably chased deer too, but no one really cared. That pack of dogs was hunted down and eliminated over the next couple of weeks.

I couldn"t quite bring myself to root for the coyotes, but I sure do hate the lousy deer. The stupid city people that make the rules that protect the deer so well should have to deal with the problems those rules make for the folks living in the country. But they don"t. So maybe I will root for the coyotes!!!

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
