Levels Of Intoxication, by Ralfy

Tipsy on two or three or four or FIVE?  Ralfy is stronger than I am.  What would make him only tipsy would have me s**t-faced, I think.  I take plenty of spills when I am out walking, but the forest is usually a soft place to fall.  Falling down sober is embarrassing enough.  His Green Zone and Red Zone don't quite agree with mine, and I need to be able to hop in the car and go at a minute's notice.

Got The Game Cams Out

We have been looking at the deer and now we are getting some photos of them.  I have been watching a mama and her two babies for some time, and we have a good trophy buck that I have seen on a couple occasions.  I don't have a picture of him yet, but here are some from the first week of having the cameras out.

This fella is a respectable deer and he has antlers that would entice many hunters.

Nice size.  He has been tearing up some trees and making some good scrapes and rubs.

We have a big family of mothers and babies with no antlers.

This guy needs to go another year or two.  There are a lot of hunters who would take this deer even though he has not reached maturity.

This deer is kind of like a dumb teenager.  I hope no-one wastes an antler tag on him.  He has some growing up to do.
