Let me start with the last few weeks here on the Gubba Homestead have been rough!
It’s turned me into a very emotional wreck as of the last few weeks but I’m doing ok and I have to realize it’s part of life and homestead living.
One of the recent stories I have to share are my dogs trapping a deer and eating it! Now before everyone gets upset you have to understand the four dogs I have on my property are a primitive hunting breed. In fact they are used to chasing large game like bears and elk and are fearless.
When something enters the property like this their hunting and defending instinct kicks in. They are well trained dogs and are good with people however animals their hunt drive kicks in. When I first went out I only found a deer leg randomly in the yard that one of the dogs had. It wasn’t until later I found the rest of it and yes it breaks my heart but the dogs did what they are supposed to do in their mindset and protect the chickens and other livestock on the homestead.
