Status: offline 		Julie, "Don't feed the deer". They are wild animals and the consequences of feeding them is detrimental to their survival.

Research has discovered that even deer feeding on nothing but grain lose weight during the winter. Even captive deer that have access to as much high-quality food as they want still reduce the amount of food they eat beginning in November, and they continue to lose body fat through February.
That’s because deer have evolved a survival strategy that involves eating as much food as they can in autumn, to put on as much fat as possible before winter. Once winter comes, instinct tells deer to eat less, move around less, and seek the protection of winter cover.

Research has also shown that large, dominant adult deer fill their bellies first at feeding sites, which means that smaller and weaker individuals, including the vulnerable fawns, will have wasted valuable energy traveling to the feeding site, where they may get little feed. Over time, feeding sites attract more and more deer competing for the same food supplies, which can lead to over-browsing and degradation of the natural habitat around a feeding site, as well as wreaking havoc on homeowners’ ornamental plantings.

Status: offline 		Thanks Woody.  I know you are right.  But anyway, they all get their own piles of alfalfa and deer mix .  So nobody here is starving.  They are all fat.    I always say I'm not gonna feed them, waited til the end of  January this year.  But then, there they are, eating the bird seed that falls to the ground and looking in the windows and the snow was up to their waists.  They don't ever eat my flowers....I am on 160 acres with a cedar swamp out back too-which they eat.  Come spring I'm back down to a family or two.  My neighbor through the woods also feeds them (I think they just go back and forth all day).

Status: offline 		Woody, the fawns always eat with the mother....unless it is an orphan.  I have one orphan, and he gets his pile behind the snowbank next to the garage, because the other deer don't like being near the garage.   They are already starting to go back "home", I had 45 in February.

Status: offline 		OK, Julie. You'll have to let me know when deer hunting season is so I can harvest a nice buck on your property.
I'll camp out in your backyard and wait for a nice fat one to come along.
First time I ever deer hunted was in Duluth circa 1967.

You shoot the big one and I'll do the rest.
I'll even share the back straps with you.

Status: offline 		 I look forward to it on ebay, I was uncomfortable offering on this forum, seems most just wanted a deal. I didn't really know its true worth, and I'd hate to lowball someone. I think it will do extremely well, much more money than I hear being offered here, but I will watch

Ya, hate to get a deal.Do you think the person who found it will go back to where he bought it for $17.50 and give some money back after it sells.I don`t think so.There is nothing wrong with the price that was offered.She didn`t accept it.Actually the bottle was offered to me last night for $175.00, which I still think is a deal, but I didn`t buy it.I`m sure the bottle will go between $225.00 and $275.00 on ebay.I didn`t lowball her,I didn`t want to pay more than $150.00 for the bottle.End of story.

Status: offline 		ok  , this will start off sounding bad . but on a deer lease this year the rules were 1 buck and 5 does . you try not to shoot does with young fawns but it happens.  then the fawn runs around bawling for mama . although already weaned they are still helpless as the weather and wind in the texas panhandle is bad . been a very dry year and we couldnt leave that last time without filling up the feeder ($200 worth of corn) right before we left . it may make the little ones dependant on it but it will only last until middle of feburary . hopefully some winterwheat or rye will allow them to survive . my father taught me to always give back and try to do what you can . i can sleep alittle easier knowing that some will survive if only on a protein poor corn . sam

I too think the offers on here were low. My bet is it goes between $300 and $400 on "the bay".   It's a great color, and, while a common mold, it has both the iron pontil and the color going for it.  I think people will be surprised at how much $ that thing will pull in.  

Towhead, make sure to post when it goes on ebay, so those of us who can't afford to watch flasks are reminded to put it on the watch lists.

Isn`t that what makes bottle hunting exciting?The hunt for deals.Looking for bottles wherever you can and trying to aquire them?Whether it`s in a privy, in a dump, under a porch, at a bottle show , on ebay, on a bottle collecting site?Just because you don`t like, can`t afford, or just don`t buy bottles, don`t put someone down for looking for a bargain.I`ve had many people from this forum bid lowball prices on my ebay auctions.That bottle was fair game.Julie is a big girl, and although she came here looking for a price, she also came here to sell that bottle.And although she didn`t sell it here, she certainly was trying to.Go back a few posts, she was taking open offers.
