That's good you didn't shoot. The hide isn't worth tanning yet. .We killed a black one last year.

I know there use to be a real rabbit population up there and mangy inbred deer with out any natural predators. Do you think that is why they planted them?

And yeah! Those are great pix!  :tup:

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Nice pics, Brad  :tup: I have seen about a dozen of so of them when I lived down there. I called them slivertip foxes, cause of the white on the tip of their tail and most I seen had white on the tips of their ears also. Any deer yet??
