All I can say is that you've written a poem as powerful as a locomotive to the solar plexus, Kim. Wow. ~ Road Kill

- The deer often visit my garden, Kim ... a wonderful sight ... such beautiful eyes ... I could never shoot them - and I have never eaten deer meat - Great written :) - hugs

I’ve had deer meet but I’d rather not. I’ve never shot an animal.

I dislike hunters. We have so many in Malta and they are allowed to do what they like, despite the laws. Blessings.

a fine story in just a few words. I tried hunting deer with my father...didn't work out so well. I spent too much time watching and not enough time shooting :-) Enjoyed your story, Kim. Have a pleasant Saturday, Sara

Sad that there was a buckshot in the deer's chest. It should have never been there, only pictures shot of it are necessary. I understand that some people do eat them, and I have. The venison is very good, but I could not shoot one. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

I used to hunt ducks with my dad, but I could never go with him on a deer hunt.
