When we were kids there was no deer here. 46 years ago when we built our home I walked down in a logging road and found a deer track and ran back to the house to get my wife so she could see it.
About 65 or 70 years ago there were 2 elk here. Im sure now had been stocked at the Peak of Otter on the Blueridge Parkway. Which is about 50 miles from us and I guess they made it up here. The bull would stick its antlers through a 3 point horse plow. When it moved he would sling it back over his head. He destroyed the plow while our neighbor watched. I’m glad they aren’t here now but there is a herd in far southwest Va up in coal mining county.
