So many around here. And they are so tame. Its going to be a mess this fall with them on the roads getting hit. I wonder if they'll have a special hunting rule to allow hunters to shoot a lot of them.
As far as I know, they have that rule every year. It is sad, but necessary because they will starve if there are too many of them. Too bad deer are beautiful creatures; well all creatures are beautiful, but deer are exceptionally beautiful. It is just the way it is. In the scheme of things, it is better to have an animal die under controlled circumstances. It is sad, though.
I grew up with a granddad, dad, and bros that hunted, and hub hunts. Both sides have ancestry of hunters. I have yet to eat venison. I just can't. Hub teases me when he sees deer in the yard. He says, DINNER! And, I say, NOT!
