#DeerWeek is Coming

Have you ever heard of Deer Week? This is a first for me.

When my daughter was little she was fascinated with sharks. She enjoyed watching a show or two each day about these marine creatures. If you listened to my interview on Big Buck Registry, you may know I have an affinity toward pursuing deer.

Guess what?!

Deer Week is coming! For many of us, hunting season is too. Now, when we’re not outdoors pursuing them, we’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a show or two about them each day — for a week!
