Deer that live in our Vicksburg National Military Park are in a wildlife sanctuary. This picture was taken by Marty Kittrell, a well know photographer here in Vicksburg. He gave this picture to me at a flea market last year and was so touch by his gift. Go and check out his site, Marty Kittrell's Photos of Vicksburg and surrounding towns on his blog. You will be glad you did. I have never seen a deer in the park and have lived here all my life but have seen a lot of turkeys. The wildlife are very safe here and as the saying goes, it's according to where you live in the great outdoors.
This pictures was in The Vicksburg Post today and was taken by Marcie Brasfield of Alabama. She was on a tour of the park when this doe stood nearly as still as the statue of General Ulysses S. Grant behind it. Mary Louise Nosser of Vicksburg, a guide escorting Brasfield and her parents on the tour, submitted the photo.

Civil war monuments and whitetail deer, two things that are a huge interest to me.

Me too Rick...thanks for coming by!
Just wanted to say, I love the new header photo! I saw myself like that many times and never thought of a photo!
Thanks Mushy - I took that picture when I first started hunting and on my very first deer stand next to the Big Black River in Claiborne County at Jasper Bottom Hunting Club. :)
