Hunter Shoots Robot Deer, Faces Charges

No, actually; it's a robot planted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, and on Saturday morning a Florida man pulled over, got out of his car, and shot it, prompting police officers to emerge from a nearby hiding spot and charge him with shooting deer during closed season, discharging a firearm from a roadway, and taking deer from a right-of-way.

"He crossed a ditch and walked up toward the fence carrying a rifle," the report stated. "He placed the rifle on the fence to steady himself and shot at the replica," hitting it in the neck.

The man was arrested , saying he knew that hunting season was closed and that shooting deer from a roadway is illegal, and was released Sunday after posting $1,120 in bonds. He will appear in court December 12, facing a year in jail and $2,500 in fines if convicted.

The FWC often installs fake deer where illegal deer-harvesting is suspected. The most severe charge a hunter can incur by shooting one is a third-degree felony for firing across a fence line, called trespassing by projectile and offering a maximum sentence of five years in prison plus $5,000 in fines.

"It does help," said FWC Officer Jeffrey Babauta. "Once word gets out that there is a fake deer out there, it deters the bad hunting."

[www.keralites.net] The Road not Taken

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Poem written by Robert Frost (1874–1963)

May God Bless You, Your Family, and
Your Friends the Way He Has Blessed Us.

To Be Blessed,
Become A Blessing!!!

Easy To Make Holiday Wreath

Posted: 14 Nov 2013 04:00 AM PST

Today's handcrafted project is as simple as they come. And with as busy as this time of year is, simple is just what we need, right?

So grab the few items needed to put together this easy to make holiday wreath and enjoy your work in no time at all!

SUPPLIES

Grapevine Wreath
Gold Glitter Covered Eucalyptus branches (4 or more bunches)
Large Artificial Red Holiday Berry Stems (4 or more bunches)
Small Artificial Red Holiday Berry Stems (4 or more bunches)
Bendable Wire or Garbage Ties
Wire Cutters
Needle Nose Pliers

STEP ONE

Gather your supplies and determine how you want your flora to be arranged. I started with the gold glitter covered eucalyptus leaves as the center.

STEP TWO

Insert the stem part of your artificial eucalyptus leaves into the grapevine wreath. Then bend the flora and secure it in place on the wreath with cut wire or garbage ties. Space your flora in whatever fashion looks good to you.
