Go to see this quality of whitetail deer is why I go hunting... this buck will be a
real Trophy in the 2019-2020 season when he is 6½-7½ years of age. Now he is
a prime breeder on this South Texas Ranch.

A Baby Pork Chop
A baby pork chop! A cute little guy, maybe two-days old ... at this age he/she are both called "shoats" ... also, a mixed-age group of hogs is a "sounder" ...

The Deer and the Goose
BUFFALO, New York - Fri Apr 8, 2011 - (Reuters) - A deer has been standing watch for several days over a female goose nesting in a city cemetery, a scene normally reserved for a children's movie. For at least four days, the buck stood guard near the nest of a Canada goose as she sits on her eggs inside a large urn at Forest Lawn cemetery, home to the remains of President Millard Fillmore and rock icon Rick James.
"He does appear to be guarding the goose, as it were," Erie County SPCA Wildlife Administrator Joel Thomas said. "He's within touching distance of her -- there's no doubt what's going on." The deer, which he said looks like a buck that has shed its antlers, has not strayed from his post.

Rich Tillman and Bill Hunt with the day's catch of Speckled Trout
When Rich Tillman retired, the Master Gardeners give him a fishing rod and the Sea Grant folks gave him a matching reel. Rich tested the rod and reel on a recent fishing trip, and reports that they worked quite well. Here's the evidence. Rich, Bill Hunt, and Louis Peltier caught 'em at an undisclosed location believed to be somewhere near Chocolate Bayou. Lou took this photo of Rich and Bill using Rich's cell phone.
