Deer update

As you might recall, we had deer grazing in our front yard a couple of times.  Debbie purchased a large bag of corn for deer food.  I put some in the front yard, but as far as I can tell the deer have not returned to our front yard to eat the corn.  Megan or Kelsey told Debbie that they saw a doe and two smaller deer in the neighbor's front yard grazing.  After that, I put some of the corn along the fence across the street from the house.  The next evening I checked and all of the corn was gone.  Last nite, I put more corn in the same area. This morning, all of the corn was gone.  Apparently, the deer are finding the corn.  Either that or some other corn-loving critter is having a great feast during the nite.  I am tempted to put out some more corn tonite, don some cold-weather gear and hide in the trees to see what is eating the corn.  Not sure how late into the nite I would have to wait.  I'd likely fall asleep and scare away the corn-eating critters by snoring too loudly. 

Hmmm.... I foresee another expedition similar to the "Arachnid Relocation Expedition"...

More updates to come.
