		 Is that a recent picture of the buck? Most have shed their antlers already.If he is still holding on to them he is late to the party. Its nice to see them in the yard. We have deer, rabbits, fox and a coyote that visits regularly.

		 The picture of the buck is from oct. 
The deer are in my yard thick......every night.... eating my plants and shrubs...and the ivy growing all around and up my pine trees.  
 
Im okay with that ....but the coyotes will get shot if i get a chance. 
 Had to rescue my small dog once already. Wife hollered while i was in the shower that two "dogs" were messing with our dog that she had let out just before daylight. I bolted out the back door without getting dressed or even shoes and intervened just in time by scooping up my dog and scaring the crap out of the two coyotes about to pounce on him. 
Im sure I left a long lasting impression on them...but theyre dead if and when they return.

		 I have a big problem with coyotes at the farm that I hunt at. I have as many as 7 together on camera. I have taken several each season but they keep multiplying. The farmer doesn't want me to shoot them, as long as they coyotes are there the deer aren't. The deer decimate his fields. Thats a nice healthy looking deer in your yard.

		 My backyard is like an animal sanctuary. Deer, fox, coyotes, turkey, osprey, hawks, falcons, skunks, groundhogs…if it lives in RI I’ve got it.

 Just a tank top with no bra, she left all her clothes in the bathroom next to my bedroom. Poor woman, I hope she got help. I had my cleaning person come the next day and go through the house top to bottom to make sure nothing was left behind.

 Not me that’s for sure. Thank god the police knew who she was. After the event it dawned upon me she could have claimed I beat her up and they would have hauled me away. She was led off in cuffs wearing a pair of my boxer shorts she fished out of a clean clothes basket on the dining room table.
 
So freaking surreal, at least no one got hurt.

 That is a really great story Spence. Something you will probably remember every detail of forever. 
 
I wont forget about when I pulled over on rt 24 seeing a half naked woman crawling in the breakdown lane..the first hardly coherent words out of her were "He raped me" 
I had already touched her by raising her face of the hot asphalt and putting my shirt there. I called state police they came and took over from there. They had no further questions for me. Phew!

		 My crew and I had just started a re-roofing job. I hear loud music coming from the neighbors yard so walked the roof peak to that end of the house. 
Young babe next door sunning herself topless. Had to know we were up there...I waved the other guys over to check it out.....and the work came to an abrupt stop....until the show was over.
