Your "Come on now, seriously!" and photo cracked me up!
So sorry Rob!

I also rarely see the bucks...
-However- Shortly after I moved here, and before I had a deer fence, I had a pair of bucks actively engaged in battle. My upper lawn used to be a sand volleyball court, and when they were done, the net was in shreds.. That was the beginning of the end of the volleyball court....

Wow -- amazing that one or both of them didn't get caught in that net...............

I don't mean to laugh rob, but that's my husbands dream for hunting right there. Lol

Better buy him a ticket for Xmas to go help Rob.

Jen, box him up and send him over!

Oh dear, Rob... (or should that be 'oh deer!'?? )

You can borrow Cuddles any day you like - he has fallen out of favour for the time being after he chased a cat up a tree...

Looks like they are sitting around waiting for the meeting to be "Called to Order" to me!

Don't they look chummy! Maybe they are getting together to plan their next menu? But then, they were all guys, werent' they.

Union call for a strike meeting???

Hope they are not planning one of those iris raids, I've read so much about???

Maybe there are the diversion for any iris RAID!?! Hmmmmmm.............

it could be the "northern Cheesehead" doing a bit of rabble rousing! Maybe?

let me check the airport (right next door) for any "suspicious" activities of the clandestine cargo para military variety.

hmmmmm.........What do you make of this?




that could carry a WHOLE LOT of rhizomes.

That could hold a lot of critters too!

it also can land in fields and on "rough" roads. Takeoff and landing requirements are not much either. Here is a JATO takeoff as an example.

Naaa, I'd just use a drone with claws that could grab them and fly away.

I could just use my broom. No fuel cost and I can land and take off silently from any iris garden.
