Does in the Turnips

Adult Doe Alert in Turnips

By Glen Wunderlich

Yesterday evening with temperatures hovering around 60 degrees, deer observation was a delight in Shiawassee County, Michigan.  Horton Vision crossbow at the ready and plenty of action below my tree.  All deer were antlerless with the exception of one rather frisky 6-point buck, who sucked down a mouthful of turnip leaves almost on the run.  Equal time was spent making the females run away from him.

No photos of the yearling buck, but here are a few of the does in the turnip patch.

The rut is a bit off yet but it won’t be long.

Wolf Hunt to Proceed in Montana, Injunction Denied

Tuesday,the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned down a request for an emergency injunction that would have shut down wolf hunting in the Rocky Mountains.

General rifle season opens in Montana Saturday and it looks like opportunitic hunters will be able to eliminate some of the predators.

The court said it will consider the the animal activist whackos’ motion for an injunction when oral arguments are presented on a pending appeal Nov. 8.
