deuces wild Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 As you may or may not be aware we have had a herd (4-8) of deer pass through our yard over the past several years. It is now almost a nightly ritual and they are becoming more and more bold and doing more and more damage. During the winter they would sometimes rest at the back end of our neighbors property for hours, intermitentantly eating whatever greens they can find.The rural areas of the city are being developed and the deer have few places to go now. I do not blame the deer nor do I want to kill them. But they have become so bold that even yelling at them will not make them run away.The deer do enough damage during the winter...we cannot imagine what they will do this spring. Here is a pic of one of the deer at the back end of our property last winter: http://tinyurl.com/6znjdI have posted other pictures of them here this past winter.Nice critters but......I bought a nice little CO2 .177 caliber pellet pistol (485 fps) today at Wal-Mart (only $11.00 USD) and hope to scare some deer off my property for good over the next several weeks. A good shot in the back end should make them remember not to come back.The chipmunks are next, although I don't think they will survive. I live trapped 10 of the suckers last summer and released them over 2 miles away. I think they are back as I saw one the other morning. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Venison is delicious. By the way. You are still under exposing your photo's. The meter is fooled by the white snow, and tries to make a grey shot, you have to override this by increasing the exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 That was the same photo you commented on earlier andsome. If you recall I told you that it is an automatic digital camera. I have no control over the exposure time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Not a problem. Just bringing that fact to your attention. :) Do you have exposure and focus control on your digital? I understand those cameras to be fairly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
