The End of Deer Hunting Season

Yippeee! As of tomorrow evening the end of the 2008 deer season ends in Pennsylvania. You might be wondering why this excites me. You see, as of the Monday following Thanksgiving, I have been banned from the fields surrounding my domain. Mom and or Dad take me for runs almost every night in those fields and I get to stretch my legs and smell and dig and of course, hunt groundhogs. There haven't been too many live ones around lately, something about hibernating for winter, but there are still all the sun-dried pelts from last summers kills I made. Now, mind ya, I don't ever eat a fresh kill but there is something that satisifies my taste buds with a sun-dried groundhog skin! (Don't knock it till you've tried it). But anyway back to my story. Bein's how I have such a beautiful brown complexion, Mom and Dad are afraid that some trigger happy hunter may mistake me for a deer and- well, let's just say it wouldn't be good for ol' Ches. So once the sun goes down on Saturday I'm ready to take my territory back. Probably still have to go on a leash some 'cause Mom says I'm getting better on a leash but still need the practice. I'll get Mom to take some pictures once we hit the fields so you can see me in action.
ps. Dad wanted me to tell you he is happy to report bagging a 6 point deer on the first day this year. Man, did he ever smell good that night. I couldn't bury my nose deep enough into his hunting pants!!
