Just taken in my back yard around noon today:

I've chased this little guy out of the yard about a half dozen times.

Chestnuts go well with venison... ;~)

In my case it's squirrels that take most of our chestnuts though my wife
will fight them off to get some!

My favorite lunch is fried venison loin with chestnut soup.

Nuts have just about stopped dropping and I figure deer and squirrels
get 90% of them. I still manage to get enough for family and friends.
I blanch, shell and freeze them for soup and stuffing. Since chestnuts
are low fat, they only keep about a month in the refrigerator.

There is a time when the little guy in your yard would have been a legal buck here in MS. Now we have length and width rules that push us up to good 6 pointers. That is good, actually. More will grow up!

I saw this happen in PA where in the past buck seasons anything with horns was legal. Most guys never shot anything bigger than a spike. I was at a taxidermist there and saw a slew of deer heads in for mounting and most were forkhorns. Now in various regions of the state they must have at least 3 or 4 points on one side.

Here in DE except for doe seasons, any deer is legal. License comes with 4 doe/antlerless tags and you can buy one quality buck (>15 inch outside spread) tag which includes a tag for any other deer. You can buy as many extra doe tags as you want. State game lands will not allow you to take a non-quality buck and state park nearby that I hunt makes you take a doe before you take a buck.
