Addition to our family!

Weather wise a decent day, high of 23C (73F) with some showers, Woody and Scott went shopping, we are now proud owners of a White Tail Deer decoy and for now he is a yard ornament. Woody and Scott put him together as soon as they returned and stood the buck in the grass, Woody was going to pack it up the next day but I thought he was too nice to pack away so we moved him beside the trees, his head moves with a little breeze, his tail moves and he sits on a peg so his whole body will turn with some wind, from a distance he looks quite life like. The dogs went nuts barking at the new addition, Cookie even stood up on her hind legs to sniff the deer’s butt, what a hoot! Took Muffin a couple of days to accept that the deer was not going to run off if she barked at it, when she jumped up on it, the buck swung around and freaked Muffin right out it really was funny to see, one of those moments that happen quickly, no time for pictures but every time I think about it I laugh! A couple of people who come to the park to hike said they thought for a minute when they drove into the parking lot and spotted the deer they thought it was real and a few hunting friends thought it would make a great target but I warned them not to put any holes in my pet deer! Will be interesting come hunting season to see if this little guy will attract any attention in the field! I will try and remember to report the results after the September/October hunt!

Isn't he cute?
