9. When the weather turns bad around here, the deer

will herd up. It's not uncommon to see 20, 30 deer huddled together in a cornfield. My woods border alongside of farm fields, so I bet I have a lot of them in the woods right now. I have a couple salt blocks out in the woods for them. They watch me when I cut firewood and they don't seem to think of me as a threat. They're curious animals, I just wish they wouldn't eat all my corn, lol. 4 degrees outside, brrrr.
