rob84 112 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 have shoot a vixen 'on heat' september time 2 years ago, so if she would have had cubs they would be fair lumpers by now! On a totally different subject, the boys were out hunting today and one of them seen a fallow come by close with a little tiny calf with her! is this unusual or what? Global Warming hey!!!
