Yes, Dear- DEER! *

10/31
Early one evening while moored in Caneel Bay, St. John, we noticed movement on the resort lawn.  At first glance, we thought a small band of island goats had come to graze on the shady hillside under the trees that stood along the water’s edge.  Using binoculars, we soon discovered that the animals were not goats, but deer!  Then we scanned the entire bay and found that there were about 15 or so other deer nibbling all along the coast.

* This note was written with my deer hunting niece and brothers in mind:  Bethie, Marty, Joe, Ed, Larry, Rich, and Bubba.  (St. John, USVI is largely a National Park, so no, you cannot come down here to hunt!)
