A Magnificent Animal

Incredibly beautiful!

I saw him up close yesterday.  He looked just like his photo from a few weeks ago.

Felt his soft fur, smoothed his ears, looked into his big eyes and appreciated his life and magnificence. I stroked his limbs, admired his feet, touched his antlers.  The buck I touched also had two notches in his right ear, just like this guy. And he had the same antlers, same number of points.

He weighed 225 pounds.  A 6 point buck.

One tick at a time

The Tick Lady, Carol Fox, talks about Lyme and how it changed her life

“I lost my job, my savings, my house. It changed my career and my life,” she says.
“Now my mission in life is helping people avoid what I went through.”
