Antler Hunting Continued

I continue to hone my skills (or so I think).  I've been able to run across deer every day, sometimes a half dozen or more, sometimes only one.  I get as close as 20 or 30 yards, which in the woods with a leaping deer might as well be a half mile.   I've learned that they tend to run away from me when I yell at them; whistle a happy tune; call them by name (no one likes to be called a "bambi"); or tell corny jokes.  I'm learning.

This is one of the trails I followed and searched.  This is not a deer trail - its a human trail.  I understand that my chances of finding any deer stuff on this trail is slim, but it much less annoying to trek than the deer trails so I thought 'what the heck.'.  Kind of the same logic I use when playing the lottery - I don't buy a ticket but I figure the chances of winning are so slim that the chances of winning without buying a ticket are only somewhat slimmer.  What the heck.
