Dear Neighbors, I am posting this publicly because a friend with whom I have been discussing this topic off-list says it should be posted.
I went down to The Woodlands Cemetery with Elga (my trainer) on Thursday and I spoke to the Executive Director about the hunt. "Yes" she said Yes, a hunt took place during the last two weeks of June. Somehow, it got by all of us, or at least me. The Executive Director said, ³They were eating themselves out of house and home.² Deer are still there although I did not see them today, but I smelled them. Her Assistant said fawns are there as well and that her grandson asked her this past Saturday, ³Why did Santa Claus come with the the deer so early?² I also told them there were three does who would walk with me. They thought I was daft and luckily Elga was there to vouch for me. They were intrigued! I mentioned the fox Paul had seen they were gob-smacked, and had not reckoned on that at all. I believe they took about 15 of them according to what the Exec. Dir. said. The herd is down to about 10-15 now including the fawns, I suppose. The Director said they had posted a position letter in early June. I missed that too. I didn¹t ask her where or to whom the letter was posted. I will go back there to look for Moxie. (my special doe) She is so clever I am sure she escaped the hunt. Naturally, with the hunt being so recent the survivors are a bit shy. I understand the State Game Commission donates the venison to The Food Bank from these hunts. Yeah, right! Paul says he saw a tiny fawn (hardly bigger than a cat) and his mother a week or two ago.
