Apparently, I need to learn to gut a deer now. You know we can't go a day around here without something going on.
While I was showering, and one daughter was on the treadmill (with headphones on), someone hit a deer right in front of our house. The driver had gone on, but the deer was left behind (on our property).
I had gone to the garden to see if I had anything to pick for my breakfast, and was at the stove when I saw a man walking up to the door.
Evidently, he drove by, and saw the deer moving around in the yard. He just wanted to alert me, and that the Sheriff was on the way (they have to be the ones to put them down).
I did call Hubby, but he didn't answer (tsk tsk), to see if he could get extended family over to utilize the meat. When the Sheriff arrived, Hubby finally called back, but didn't want to send someone without seeing what damage was done to the deer.
Thankfully, the Sheriff had a list, and thankfully someone came for the deer. Otherwise, it would pulled to the other side of the highway to be left to rot. And that would not be good with our dogs.
So....there you have it. Another fun day at the homestead. Guess I am adding "learn to gut a deer" to my "learn something new list."
