Headhunter

Last year at the end of the deer season The Frau took one of the deer heads that was lying around and jammed it between a couple of closely-spaced tree trunks near the edge of the yard.

No, this wasn't some sort of weird voodoo, pagan talisman - rather our hope was to let nature clean it-up so we might have a clean, fleshless deer skull to do something-with.  It also kept the tempting apendage out of reach of the dogs.

As per usual, the best-laid plans were thwarted by wile e coyote.

How this varmint managed to grab the head is beyond us.  I guess coyotes climb trees too?
