Rant against deer

[uk elephant]

A landscaper we spoke to said the best way to deter the deer is the "mark" the territory yourself. He suggested my husband slip out after dark and relieve himself around the perimeter of the flower bed. Okay, maybe not the best way to make friends with neighbors, but we got a laugh as we considered the idea.

ahh! So that explains why we never see deer in our garden......not only were there no deer....the lawn had a patch of incredibly lush dense bright green grass....the result of man communing with nature in the middle of the night...

I don't have deer/cycling story....but will a moose/orienteering story do? I was at an orienteering race with my dad (running through the woods with map and compass trying to find little flags). Suddenly I came upon a huge moose just munching away. He didn't seem to mind me being there, so I stayed down wind and followed along for probably half an hour just watching this beautiful animal. When I next looked at the map, I had no idea where I was. So I hiked up to a high point, saw which direction the fjord was in and headed that way. I figured I'd get to the road one way or another. I did and eventually got back to the starting/finishing point. I didn't find any of the little flags that day, but had a fantastic race!

Sure. We don't discriminate against cervids!
