Antler Kings

More of those deer.

Here are some dandy-looking bucks.  Sure hope that the fella in the last picture has been visiting the ladies and spreading his genes about the neighborhood.

Thirteen Moons

Probably one of the best books I read in 2011.  Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier.

Set in the early Eastern Cherokee Nation Homeland near the junction of North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee this work of fiction takes place in an historical setting.

Will Cooper narrates his own life story as an orphan exiled as an indentured proprietor of a remote trading post set among the Cherokee people.  His story takes you through a life of adventure - love won, prosperity, a rise to lawyer and Senator, to colonel, to chief, to love and fortune lost.  Figures like Crockett, Calhoun and Andrew Jackson are woven throughout.

If you're to die tomorrow, do you spend the time praising Creation or cursing God? 

A riveting tale that was hard to put down.

Learn more about it here.

Smile for the Trail Camera

Things have been rather quiet here at The Platz and the deer are still hanging around and moving about. 

Judging from the evidence captured by the two trail cameras the bucks are still moving about after dark - does and fawns too.  The only daylight pictures have been of antlerless deer.

Happy New Year!
