A Pumpkin Eater

​I sent these pictures to Bob Kattner with the thought that they might provide a moment's distraction from his travails with Covid 19. That was on Saturday, the 14th and he wrote back immediately saying its "ups and downs" with  this virus.  He must have felt well enough to send a note a couple days ago and we hope he’s far along on the road to recovery now.   

​While I had these photos out,  it  occurred to me that others in the club might like to see what  a pumpkin-stealing deer looks like and so am attaching the photos to this note.  The local deer have become so emboldened that they take pumpkins right off the porch!   This young buck got one, somehow rolled it to the edge of the lot and had set about eating it  when I noticed him.   The close-up shows an extra brow tine on the right antler. With Halloween in the past I guess they can help themselves to as many pumpkins as they like.
