    like beetle kill said the antelope have extremely good eye sight. The deer like to get next to the road where the grass is real green and graze there also. Especially at night.
    I have never hit one myself but have seen them plenty of times out by the road and when coming home at night I am very mind full that they can be there.

    Do you know the crest of Bingham Hill in Bellvue? I had a sportscar with a low sloping hood and drove that road twice per day before til the county paved the res road years later. The day after we bought the truck in my avatar I was on the downside of Bingham hill west bound, there was a 6' soil bank and 6' fence ontop of that. While going not more than 15 mph on that tight hairpin+ turn, a large mulie doe practically came out of the sky from over that fence and 12' down onto the road infront of me, she almost landed on the road except the grill of the new to me blazer got her before her feet hit the ground. Unbelievable, I would likely have been dead if I was in my sportscar (1982 Supra). Be it my cautious protective husband (he was my boyfriend way back then) or the will of God, I was in that truck instead of my old sportscar.

    I stopped at the old farmhouse at the bottom, he got a pistol and we went to find her just incase. She was already expired, likely instantly.

    You should be proud of that accomplishment! Not too many people can actually claim to have hit a deer on the "wing"! (before it landed from it's jump)
    Thank God and WWW and you too for letting him talk you into the blazer.
    Now then, isn't the supra a car with a lot of surprise in it? I wonder why you haven't posted of pic of it in that cool cars we've owned thread?

    45 now
    Been in the 60's-70's last 4 days. Its been DRY here this spring. No snow pack for moisture and little rain.
    No fire now for 2 or 3 days
    Mowed first time Sunday. 1st time ever I think Ive mowed and didn't have to clean the deck every 3rd or 4th round. Dry and grass is thin this spring.
    Looks like temps may be more normal next week. 40's and 50's.
    Snow forecast for Monday. Ahhhhhh life in the belt.

    56° and looks like we only had a slight rain last night. An 80% chance around 10am. I have some Pine burning in the boiler to heat up the big buffer tank.

    Don't think I've had a fire all week.
    A little pain and a lot of
    Solar gain keeping things comfortable.
