Deer Scavenger Hunt

by Jody on March 25, 2009

Tomorrow I will continue my post from yesterday including the oh so important score.  Today I have something much more important to share.

I was sitting in my office minding my own business when a huge spider was on my ceiling.  Someone, which I won’t name names, took it upon themself to grab the bug spray and fog up my office in hopes of saving me from a spider getting on me.  Now I’m very appreciative of her saving me from the creepy crawler but my eyes started burning, I couldn’t breath and I could taste the bug spray.  So I opened my back door to air out the room.

After  about 10 minutes I heard the crunching of leaves and sticks.  Being the very attentive wife of a hunter, I knew what it had to be.  OMG DEER.  Yes, deer.  I looked around the corner and there they were.  3 monster bucks with … ummm … no horns.  I know you’re probably thinking – yea ok – those were does.  But I’m telling you they were huge bucks.  And if they had horns, I’m guessing they would’ve been 14 pointers and at least 10 years old.

What does the very attentive wife of a hunter do?  She whispers to her co-worker, “bucks 200 yards out”, because that’s how they do it on the hunting shows.  Just as I grabbed my cell phone to take pictures, they turned their whitetails on me and headed for the woods. 

And that’s what I got a picture of… a whitetail deer hiney…

After the monster whitetail bucks were out of sight, I thought it would be fun to have a deer scavenger hunt.  I might still be able to see the bucks out there somewhere or maybe they lost their 14 pointers just at the edge of the woods.  Wouldn’t my manly man of a hunter and my blogger friends be proud of me?  I was getting a little excited about it.  

Now I know what you all are thinking, but don’t feel all proud of me just yet because I had no intention of actually stepping foot in the woods.  I wasn’t about to walk into spiders dangling from trees, catching poison ivy and for the love of an attack seeing a snake.  I was just going to slowly make my way to the edge of the woods and take a quick peek inside.

Which I did. 

And I almost stepped in this…

 

And with that, my scavenger hunt was over.  I hightailed my own whitetail right out from them there pooy woods.

P.S. For you hunters – please don’t ruin my exciting scavenger hunt day by saying that is rabbit poo like my hunter did.  I’ll delete you.

Your hunter should just be glad that you got him a good picture of that 14 point buck deer hiney :) How dare he say that you took a picture of rabbit poo? It’s obviously got to be from those bucks…

Rabbit poo? Are you crazy? That’s chupacabra scat for sure. Good thing you didn’t go into those woods.

You had me laughing as always.. At least the day’s event made for a good story! :)

I like the picture of the deer hiney. That’s some great nature photography.

Rabbit poo? Do they poo that much? I wish I pooed that much.

Are you sure they aren’t raisins? You’ll never know until you taste them.

Thats why I love spiders. One little spider and look at the excitement you’d have missed. With this in mind, imagine the fun a snake experience would be.

you’re killing me

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that has pictures of deer butts. I could fill a gallery with all the deer butt shots I’ve taken over the years. Mine are muleys, not white tails, but it’s amazing how much deer butts look alike, regardless of the breed. Loved the story!

Jody, Jody, you are a pleasure to know as a blogging friend. I love your posts and your sense of humor. I have to admit, though, that doesn’t look like rabbit poo to me. It’s ———–!

Now that is funny: “Deer 200yds out”. I’m not sure that is the way they always do it in the hunting shows, but it made me laugh, that is for sure.

Sorry, call me dumb, but I don’t understand why you ran when you saw the droppings?

Jody April 3, 2009 at 9:41 am

Mr. Tibbs, because I’m a girl that doesn’t want deer poo on my shoes.
