Cudgee, my best friend is a manager at a feed store. The owner of the Feed Stores raises hogs and feeds them with broken sacks of feed that he can't sell. Once a year he slaughters some of the hogs and gives 3 or 4 boxes of pork to each his employees. My buddy couldn't get all the meat into his freezers, so he bought a box over and put it in my freezer, and told us to "eat all we want", and that they couldn't even eat all they got last year. Sure is good! And with meat prices the way they are, a very welcome gift.

Greg, what a great set of pictures! I noticed something in the bottom picture, one of the fawns has spots that are in pronounced lines, the other has random spots. I’ve always heard the one with the lines is the buck. Never have been able to get an accurate reading on that possible “old wives tale”. Have you ever heard this?
Keep ‘em coming, take more pictures if they stay around. It would be great to see them grow in your back yard.

EDIT: just Googled the subject and there are studies that say the the little buck has lines and the doe a scattered pattern according to the University of PA. Well it wasn't an "old wives tale" after all.

Wow Phillp!That is something I did not know. She actually has 3 fawns but the other one will not stop running around in circles long enough to get a good pic. It's hilarious watching it run from one end of the yard and back again over and over. You can see it's legs standing behind her in this pic.

I recieved a knife a few weeks back from a seller shipped in this Hamburger Helper box:004.JPG005.JPG
Then this morning, I noticed the empty box some cereal came in. What a fine target for plinking with a handgun or setting out at 100 yards and seeing if a rifle is holding its zero. 002.JPG
Ain't y'all proud of me?
