The sound of leaves crunching in the distance alerted me to the slow progression of several deer approaching my stand site. My heart began to flutter in anticipation of their arrival, as the staccato rhythm of advancing footfalls grew louder and louder.

Deer will bring up whole lily pad plants with their feet to consume them or actually plunge their heads underwater to forage for other aquatic vegetation. Almost all aquatic vegetation makes good salad-bar food for deer. They will separate the earth muck around[..]

You cannot have a wage increase or it must be restricted because it is not good for the economy; however we will vote ourselves a very large increase[..]
