So true, and cloven implies a darker side (tho I know that it is a type of hoof).
Hey, Susan, know what you mean, though in this case I sympathize with the prey.
wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful !
Oh, thanks, Deb!
If only the cloven-hooved one could mask his prints!! Good one Susan.
yes. i wish he/she could, though they are safe from hunters for a few more weeks.
Nice shot! and great verse –did you take the picture???
Thanks Audrey–no, this one is not mine–too muddy & wet outside to walk through my woods, which are full of deer this time of year.
I was looking through my camera–this summer I happened upon a wonderful mix of tracks all in one spot; raccoon, coyote, and deer, all together at the creek bank. Could not find the darned thing today. Grrr.
Its a pity that this is so,,,,I don’t like the idea of hunting much even though I know it’s a necessity in some places,,,well done..
Thanks–agree with you about the hunting thing, although I do love venison. Shame on me.
great makes me want to touch the print
Thank you!
Lucky be, a hunter in luck! Life’s goodness comes in doses. Nicely Susan!
Hank
Oh, thank you, Hank
If only the critters had long tails with brushes to sweep away their trail.
yes–they should.
I sympathize with the prey too. When I read your haiku, my first thought was “RUN!”
Yes–but they are safe for a while longer.
These are true, but sad for the prey !!!
I agree–glad the season for that does not start for some weeks yet.

Well-captured, the plight of the prey!

I most emphatically hate deer season…
