Founder - Gone but not forgotten.
It won't be long til we'll be talking about "Feeling It In The Air." -- Our bodies will detect the changes normally associated with cool weather and we all know what follows that.
As usual, the Deer are one step ahead of us and have started preparing themselves for the cold weather that's sure to come.
Here is a Pic of a Doe that has started entering what we in the Taxidermy Field refer to as "The Blue Stage." -- She is replacing the old summer coat with the new winter hair and this usually begins first on the muzzle -- backs of the ears -- and straight down the center of the back, gradually working it's way down both sides. -- Notice how it appears first as a dusty black color? --- In about 3 weeks this Doe will be gray as a Squirrel and slick as a Mole.
