Reminds me, Mike of going to the Catskill Game Farm as a child. (Sadly, most of the wildlife in Vegas is found among the tourists visiting the Strip for the weekend).

  I sometimes am one of those tourists, on my way to a hold-em game.
  I know the Catskills. Went up there when I was a senior in high school with a group of friends at holiday season. We crashed many resorts and had dinner at several, and got thrown out of others. It was great fun and criminal like.

  Yes indeed, I did know that you might catch a buzz off of this. There are deer all over that town, many just sitting in yards having a bit of sun.
  Thanks Lori.
