Deer

We traveled to the next town tonight. On our way we saw two young deer feeding on a farmer's grass. My husband said they had just come out of the corn field. They have a great many deer in that area as one of the State Parks, Pilot Knob, is located just 7 miles east of there. A farmer by the airport leaves several acres of corn every year just for the deer to feed on. It did become a hazard though for the airplanes flying in and they had to put high fences up to keep the deer off the runways. They are beautiful animals to see but not on your hood. More deer are killed on our freeways and highways than the hunters get each year. They are going to have extra doe hunts in order to cut down the huge population that is endangering the drivers.
