where i grew up the kids get the first day of deer season off from school.

I come from a deer hunting family, my fiance hunts, and yes, I hunt too. Nothing like the excitement you get when you see the deer in your sights on a frosty southern mornin' :D heehee

Nah, but seriously, even my mom hunted while she was pregnant. I remember she told me a story about being up in a tree stand once waiting for a deer and these [insert derogatory names here] came walking under her and she shot up in the air and scared the crap out of 'em because they scared all the deer away. Nothing pisses a hunter off worse.

Hunting is a big part of our culture here, and besides....Deer are really just oversized rats.

Yep....just like kangaroos are REALLY big native rabbits

I am not a hunter but I do believe in my right to own guns. Oh and I am a Republican. :D

Hunting is one sport I've just never gotten into (well, not the kind of huntin' you mean anyway)....besides, for a redneck, I aaaammmmm an awful shot.... and that's one reason why i'm a neo-redneck (no dog box in the truck....no gunrack in the truck...hell,no truck).....wouldn't mind trying my luck at bow hunting someday though.....one interesting note ....the daughter of one of the nurses i work with, went hunting for the very first time today and got an 8-pointer....i don't know who was more excited, her or her mom.....


For the venison eater's at pixies, how do you like to fix it up? Me, I love it fried up and simmered in a lil onion gravy.

Cook it like a roast with vegetables

I got a six point buck last Fri.

But I used the front of my truck to shoot him with :(


About $450 in damages

Yikes! You ok?

Years ago I got one... I fully comprehend the statement "Caught like a deer in headlights". It applied to both the deer and myself.

I got it and it got my '83 Thunderbird! They were both total write offs :) Luckily I wasn't!

We lost one of our early Pixies to a collision with a deer.

He seemed a nice bloke.

That really worries me where I live--lots of those vermin around. I drive a sedan so I'm sure it'd total the car.

I hate leaving out early (before daylight) and coming in late since that's the time of day you have the most chance of hitting one.

A PROUD hunter and angler here. 'Course living in Alaska...well...I gotta be one! :)

I bowhunt, rifle hunt, and muzzleload...for deer, elk, moose, bear, mountain goat...you name it. If I can eat it, I'm more than happy to kill it myself!

Nothing like providing - hands on, one to one with nature - for my family.

One more thing - Bambi doesn't exist!!! ;)

I can't call myself much of a hunter by any stretch of the imagination...but I did shoot me 3 possums tonight. :) I know, I know.... you were asking about deer... but that was all I had to offer. LOL

Darogle,

Possum . . . .deer.

I can see the connection.

So it's not weird that I mounted their heads above the fireplace???

:p
