19 May 11 - 11:28 PM (#3157345) Subject: Folklore: Cloven Hoofprints In The Garden From: LadyJean I presume they were left by deer. I hope they were left by deer. The other alternatives are pigs, goats, or Satan. Well, I can keep deer out of the garden with mothballs. Any ideas on how to keep out goats, pigs or Satan? |

20 May 11 - 12:23 PM (#3157629) Subject: RE: Folklore: Cloven Hoofprints In The Garden From: GUEST,lively "Does anyone still believe in Satan?" Isn't Satan (or however you name him/it?) pretty much essential to the Christian vision? |
20 May 11 - 12:59 PM (#3157649) Subject: RE: Folklore: Cloven Hoofprints In The Garden From: GUEST,Eliza LadyJean, I'm wondering what size the prints are? Fallow deer and muntjac have quite small cloven hoofprints (Are you in UK?) Also, if they're deer prints, you'll see droppings as well, rounded pellets like giant rabbit poo. Please watch out for dreaded TICKS. Deer ticks both in USA and UK carry Lyme disease, a nasty thing to get. They sit in the grass and bite your legs. (I've had this happen!) It certainly was NOT Satan. |
