<br />57 <br /> <br /> <br />\ <br />I 1 ~hey were in some cedars near a little gully running through <br />2. our place. I witnessed deer within a quarter of a mile from <br />3 our house during all seasons. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />One morning during haying season last year, my son <br /> <br />5 and I drove through some cedars to another field to get the <br />6 tractor and baler whiml had been left there the night before. <br />7 There were thirteen ~eer grazing in the field. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />Early in the spring each year when the grass first <br /> <br />9 begins to grow, we have watched deer come from the cedar nill <br />10 into the fields to eat. On different occasions, we have <br />II counted from 30 to 150 deer feeding in and near our fields <br />12 and neighbors t. fields. <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Also in the winter I can testify to their presence. <br /> <br />14 One year a few years ago, we had a large stand of baled hay <br />15 within 25 feet of our driveway. We had a Mercury light in ou <br />16 <br />yard, and almost any time af~er dark we could look out .our <br />17 window and see deer feeding on our hay stack. We counted fro <br />18 <br />three to eight, and it was a family contest to see who would <br />19 <br />see the big four-point buck first each nignt. <br /> <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />This year from our winter feed ground where the cattl <br /> <br /> <br />are, we counted as many as 26 leaving the field or grazing in <br /> <br /> <br />the sagebrush in the cedars nearby. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />, <br />I, too, love wildlife and I, too, stop each.time I' <br /> <br /> <br />see deer to thrill to the gra.ce and beauty of them. We never <br /> <br /> <br />tire of watChing them, and even a porcupine ambling across the <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />
