The wife likes to look at the pretty deer.  

  they eat my lilies to the ground every year  

On a good note, I sent out a few letters to landowners on the east side and I got my first response today.  500+ acres approved for us to hunt!!!  Yea baby!!!  He said he only lets a couple of hunters each year on it and most of those are bird hunters.  Won't even cost me any meat!!!  Got a few other letters out too so, we'll see what happens.  This isn't exactly prime land and I think I asked other land owners in better hunting spots for permission but, at least I have this to fall back on.
