Stable anew and open

in Bash(ful),Stable

Thanks to the efforts of Don Murphy and Allan Park, the former stable in our barn is now open to the bucks for winter refuge and warmth. We removed the lumber and porcupine poop that filled the old stable and repaired the old wood floor. Don fortified the roof and created sheltered openings in the south and north walls that have proved deer friendly. We have always been told that fallow deer will not willingly enter roofed or enclosed spaces, but our experience as taught us otherwise. Don designed the doors in such a way that the deer can see the open providing an escape route if needed. So far we have observed Bash, EGee and Mike going in and out.

Here’s some photos of Bash in and out of the new stable.
