I took this picture of the deer hooves from Andrew & Jarrett's bathroom upstairs. The ones along the bottom are HUGE. They're four times (maybe more) bigger than any of the other prints in the yard. He walked from the back of the yard along the north side of the house and then across the street to the woods.

Thursday, January 14, 2009 - Yesterday, I took this picture of the BIG hoof prints. It may not be obvious at a cursory glance how huge they are because it's certainly not easy to get into the yard this time of year to get close to where this big guy walked. It's really amazing.

We're supposed to be getting a January thaw for the next few days so all of the tracks will melt away. That's the one reason I don't care to see the temperatures get above 32 degrees. It's winter, just keep it cold but not brutal. Remember, we live in NORTHERN Illinois.

This is it for now. see ya later, djb
