Hunters’ Delight
(by Joanne Faries for her mighty hunter, Ray Faries, who is in a deer stand now in Bronte TX
and
for her father (non-hunter) in PA who sees deer in his front yard)
deer wander suburbs
hoof prints embedded
poop piles on lawns
bucks could ring doorbells
like a Far Side cartoon
deer forced from wooded
protection by
developer buildings
the same men who lease land
sit in camouflage blinds
aimed to shoot deer that
meander backyard America
Deer are amazing creatures. I was at a safari park over the summer and there were loads of them - they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Annalisa - deer are so beautiful, and when you happen to see one - OH! The delight of it. I would only shoot one with my camera :)
ReplyDeleteMy dad is a big hunter. He spends a lot of time in tree stands!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad. There should be some sort of protection for them, especially as they were booted out of their home by the developers. In the UK we have a similar problem with field mice when green site development takes place... except they can't ring doorbells!
ReplyDeleteThere's an award on my blog for you :-)
