So yesterday evening the dogs were in their kennel barking. This went on for a long time. This morning I took the quad up through the field to see what tracks were there. Well the dogs disappeared into the dry ditch. A while later here comes the older dog with a deer head and part of its neck. I ran back to where I last saw the dogs. About 100 feet up the hills is the old Oxman ditch which hasn't had water in 100 years. My dog was up trailing this way and that way. About 15 magpies flew up out of the ditch. I called my dog back down and we went to the house. About a hour later I looked out and she is in the driveway with driveway with a deer leg connected to the better part of a shoulder. My educated guess is that a cat killed another deer. Just a little over 200 yards from the house.

Time to get the rifle out Webby

There is an old 30-30 that is in the gun rack on the quad 24/7 this time of the year. There are several scope sighted rifles loaded and handy in the house. Somehow I don't think my pup would do a good job of trailing and treeing at cat other than the barn cats.
