Got this from a guy who wrote: Mike, don't know anything about this other than it is cool as hell! The message with the picture read: "World Taxidermy Championship a few years ago, notice how carefully this was put together...look at each angle and remember, there are no ropes or lines holding any of this up. The Lion is held up by his tail, where it contacts the zebra’s leg, and the entire mount is supported by the zebra’s back leg. Pretty amazing. And cool as hell.

I saw this picture on Facebook the other day and it ticked me off, so I did a little digging. KVAL in Eugene, Oregon, reports: "The wounds hadn't killed the deer, which were seen walking around with the arrows sticking out of their bodies. Biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife worked with Oregon State Police wildlife officers to track down the deer.They tranquilized the animals, removed the arrows and treated the wounds. "The deer - an adult doe and a yearling doe - showed no visible signs of infection. “'Pictures of these deer stuck with arrows have been circulating widely in the media and social media, and understandably, it’s upsetting to see,” said Steve Niemela, Rogue District [...]

Received this note from a loyal blog reader. I could not have said it better myself, and I reprint in honor of all those who serve and have served, and especially to those who gave all: Mike: A nice blog for the weekend would be a dedication to the REAL HEROES of our country. The men and women that serve and have served in our Armed Forces are owed well-deserved respect and gratitude from us. "To those who have fallen, you will never be forgotten.” We WOULD NOT be able to pursue our dreams of freedom and firearms and hunting if not for the men and women that we honor this weekend. Raise a drink during a celebration this weekend [...]

Deer Science: What Causes Most Fawn Deaths?

Our friend Jeff saw this newborn on his New Jersey farm last Saturday. If the little deer can make it until early August, its chances of survival soar. Scientists note that most fawn deaths occur in the first 12 weeks of life. A grad student at Penn State’s Department of Ecosystem Science and Management examined the causes of fawn deaths listed in 29 different populations, and calculated the proportion of fawns that died from each of 3 categories: human, predation, and natural causes. Not surprisingly predators, namely coyotes, bobcats, bears and dogs, killed the most fawns, about 25% of them in the populations studied. About 8% of fawns died from natural causes like starvation, disease, hypothermia and drowning. About 5% [...]

From CBS New York: "A resourceful police officer is being credited with saving the life of baby deer after its mother had been hit and killed in Warren County." Noticing movement inside the doe, Officer Jim Vernon sprung into action and performed a roadside C-section on the doe, saving the life of one of two fawns that the unfortunate doe carried. Animal Control Officer Robert Lagonera then arrived on the scene, took the fawn home, warmed it up, and rubbed its chest to help get the little deer’s underdeveloped lungs working. The fawn is apparently doing well and awaiting its new home. To these officers and to all their brothers and sisters in blue across the country, thank you for [...]
