I have to say I'm sorry for not posting more but have had a few family problems not Cd related, and sorry but really don't want to talk about it at the present. In fact I would give anything to just sweep it under the carpet and make it go away.

Now the good news is deer season opens tomorrow morning and I am moving into my blind for the entire next 10 days. No no I will sleep in my warm bed at night as sleeping under the stars in Korea in winter as made me realize how good a warm bed feels :P

Will keep you up dated I think [-o<

The deer are thick as thieves here. So I expect you had success, and are now up to your elbows in making sausage venison.

Hunter bags rare hermaphroditic deer

http://www.lacrossetribune.com/articles ... 00deer.txt
One would think deer hunter Dick Cagle has seen it all.

Cagle, 68, has been hunting ever since he was knee high to a grasshopper, which goes back 60 years, when he received a 20-gauge double-barrel shotgun.

Come to think of it, Cagle still has that old gun, and he’s mighty proud of it.

Cagle, who lives in La Crosse but winters down south, shot what he thought was a buck early Wednesday morning south of La Crosse. Little did he know that the six-point deer was a doe — well, sort of.

Cagle, who was hunting with his son, said the deer also had partial male organs.

“I’ve been hunting probably 60 years, and this is a first for me,” said Cagle, shaking his head, but admiring the huge deer, estimated at more than 200 pounds before it was field-dressed.

Cagle used a crossbow and shot the deer from about 20 paces. Wisconsin hunters older than 65 are eligible to use crossbows.

“The base of the rack looks like fried eggs on each side,” Cagle said of the hermaphrodite, an animal with both male and female organs.

The deer also was in velvet, a stage of antler development. However, most male deer are well past the velvet stage at this time of the year.

On rare occasions, female white-tailed deer develop antlers. Biologists believe it is due to an abnormally high level of testosterone. One female in several thousand white-tailed does will grow antlers because of this hormone imbalance.

Antler growth in bucks usually begins in March or April. Antlers are fully grown by August or early September, only a few weeks before the bow hunting season begins.

“I still can’t believe it,” said Cagle, scratching his head.

Hello everyone :P
Carol Ann is home today as the weather has gone to pots and I need to catch up on what is happening.
So first off no deer yet but yesterday I had a chance to bag two as I watched them come right up to me but no one will every believe me when I say MISFIRE! manure !!!!!

Long story short I got two chance and even switch out mags and still MISFIRE. No nothing wrong with my weapon it's the ammo. OK you'al laugh,
So I go to town this morning to purchase new shells and they cost $22.00 now the boxes of shells I have had a price tag of $6.50. Do you think it's time to replace them? :P

Now the weather has turned agains me as rain has moved in and the bottem will fall out of the temp tomorrow. I may have to ask for food stamps. Oh well I have until next Sunday and maybe I will get luckie.

This is good because it means you get to continue hunting longer, right?

Carol Ann,

I have had old ammo misfire, but for hunting I made sure I had ammo no more than 2 or 3 years old. The older stuff was for use on the range.

I stopped hunting in the early 1980s a couple of years after my father passed away and city boys started hunting in the same place.

I hope you get good opportunities again this season, the new ammo fires properly, and you get to have venison.

If you read the article that Donna provided us, it makes perfect sense does it not!!!??

All the "normal" deer had scrapped off their velvet, but the hermaphrodite was still "in velvet!" SO WHAT"S STRANGE ABOUT THAT!!!!

We had a lady here in the valley get attacked by a buck a week or so ago. When they are "in heat" you don't mess with them. Seems this lady had actually walked up to the buck and offered it an apple and the ungrateful (wild animal) not only took the apple but decided to gore the hell out of her!

You hunters, be careful out there, it can be easy to get a run in your panty hose too!!! [-X
