The Horn CCCAChallenge...12/22/08
The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Horn."
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Karina Boese, Johnloguk, Creative Deviance, The Curious Camel, MyKey, Karina Boese, Trevlan, and myself. 
The Result: Horn(s), AKA: Antler(s)
Here are two of the herd(?) that frequents our property.  I was standing on the walkway close to our front door looking uphill. This is actually the slope; I was holding the camera straight.

For this particular weekly challenge, I have to include the euphemism that for a while now, these two 'studmuffins' also happen to be very horn(y)!!

This is not the image my creative self was thinking of for this challenge. However, my time this week had to be spent elsewhere, knowing that I had several shots in my photo files which I could choose from, if need be!

I'll use this image as an opportunity to provide an update on 'Jane Doe':
These two bucks are two of the reasons we were protecting her; she couldn't get away from them.
A couple of times, one of these boys jumped the fence, into the area we had her in, and we had to chase him off.  
Several days ago, we called authorities...again... and the decision was agreed upon to euthanize Jane. It was a tough, but humane decision; she wasn't improving, and we think she had also gone blind in both eyes.

This update photo of 'Jane Doe' was taken late this afternoon. She made it through her ordeal no more worse-for-the-wear, other than she was cold and began shivering. 

There is a photo of how we used the rope to get her out of the situation here.
 
That was certainly fun reading all the comments on the "Venison Soup" image!  Our neighbor, Chuck, and I thought it probably would be, after I told him that  I was definitely going to post that  as my DP!! Thank you all for the interest, giggles, and concern!

The day after my return from the Yosemite trip, my husband, myself and the neighbors noticed a doe in a gulley on our property, standing motionless....all day. Something was certainly wrong with her, but nothing obvious. I took her some dinner (!) and breakfast the next morning.  She had managed to move about 50 yds. up our driveway, then proceeded to just stand there all day.
She was even letting me hand feed her.  Last Tuesday night, she followed our neighbor into their fenced in yard area, and as been there ever since. 
Something is wrong with one of her eyes.(This is her good eye-in the above photo)  We think she's blind in that eye, and maybe a head injury caused that and the possibility of some brain damage; she doesn't maneuver very well.
Seriously, she DID end up in that water trough all of her own doing!  It was sad, yet funny!  Chuck and I so wished we had gotten that on video!
We've called several 'animal' agencies, but no-one wants to do anything. They say just let her be; you know....survival of the fittest....let nature take its course.
This afternoon, the neighbors and I decided to carry on with our 'deerly rehabilitation', and see if she seems to improve.  She was letting me hand feed her apples again tonight; she does have an appetite and is drinking from (instead of lounging in!!!)  the trough.
We know she would not last long if we let her out of the fenced area; quite probably be the bucks that would end up killing her; she wouldn't be able to get away from them.

If anyone has any helpful advice, we would greatly appreciate it!

This IS a REAL LIFE photograph!! 
This was happening during one of those few times when I did not have my camera with me; our neighbor ran in to grab his camera, then handed it to me, while he went to get a rope!
