First, a little background: I have my firewood stacked in 24 ft long rows running north to south, about a 2 ft gap between the rows. I have 6 rows like that, and then move farther north and start the same routine over again. The most western rows are stacked up against the wood line.
OK. Wednesday night I got home from working out of state, and decided to have a little fire. The firepit is about 100 ft east of the wood stacks. Had a few friends over and we were sitting around the fire shootin' the crap and stuff.
All of a sudden there was a goofy noise coming from over by the wood stacks. I turned around to look while the others all started yelling. What had happened is a deer had come out of the woods behind the stacks, tried to jump over, but did not realize there were 6 of them to jump!
You got it! She knocked 4 rows over. And then got up and ambled off as though it was a perfectly normal thing she had just done! Luckily I have a fence post every 8 ft in the row, so only one section of each row went over.
I only got to see the rows going over, but 2 of the others got to see the entire show. At first they couldn't understand what they were seeing, but it didn't take long to become clear! lol All they could think about after that was the deer jumping over the stacks. All I could think about was having to re-stack that wood. Most of you know that if there is anything I hate more than stacking wood, it is having to stack it twice!!
Stupid Deer!
