Alright, in the span of a week I have had several run ins with wild animals. The first being Bambi's Dad. Since it is fall it gets dark at 7......so with a maglight in tow, I set out for a brisk walk. There was a shadow that caught my eye for a brief moment I thought it was a figurine, the fake kind of deer that my fellow midwesterners love, yard art. Well when the flashlight lit up the shadow I was stunned to find out that it was a Buck, a large one at that. It was at least a 10 point buck. WHAT!!!!??? In town. Crazy!!!! I quickly turned the light off not to startle the buck.....I thought that is just the last thing I need this week is to get caught up in some of Bambi's Dads' antlers!!!
After this, a day or so passed and I found myself driving to the grocery at about 10pm. With the brights on (in the neighborhood, thanks Dan...Sally's dad) I was surprised again by what I saw. There was a fox hovering in a driveway. Again I thought to myself, WHAT!!! A fox!
Too much. All I can think is that man is taking up too much space and the once wild animals have no where to go....sad.
Side note: When my brother and I were little, mom would take us out for a night country drive to shine deer. We were always amazed by all the deer in the field. No longer do we need to take such drives, they are in our back yard.
