Reno Chris Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 About 4 inches at my place, but less in town in Reno - I live on the west side of town and get a bit more precip than the average.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurthawk Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 The other day, a big buck that hangs around my backyard showed up with a string of Christmas lights tangled in his antlers.I knew that they posed no danger to him, but he was constantly irritated by their presence. Today, he came by again so I decided to try to help him. Armed with a set of wire clippers and more guts than brains, I set out to relieve him of his decorations.I put out a pile of horse feed to coax him in close but every time I got near the antlers he would jump back and give me a "just what do you think you are doing" stare. This was not working so (working on the assumption that I am craftier than a deer) I filled a scoop with feed,held it in my left hand, and clipped a wire with my right every time he dipped his head to the scoop. This was not an easy process but, after10 anxious minutes, I prevailed.Here are the pics.Happy Holidays,Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
