Maybe I need to start carrying a pack of cigarettes with me as an attractant when I go hunting.

What kind of person approaches a buck??

[OB1kNOb]

Sounds like the buck had a nicotine addiction.

I feel for the deer. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.

The hormones in the bucks this time of year can make them very unpredictable. There are people killed every year by their “pet” deer that they feed in their yards. Here is a link to an article at the same website about just such an occurrence.

There are reasons for approaching a wild animal, but “it seemed friendly” is not one of them. Venison would be the only sensible explanation for this behavior, and trying to kill the buck using lung cancer is not as efficient as using firearms or even archery.

Sounds like the deer would walk a mile for a Camel.

When was the last time you could get cigarettes for a buck?

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress well.

Our small dog was attacked by a doe a few months ago in our backyard while I was out there in the yard.
(went out to call the dog after hearing a ruckus)
The doe had a few fawns on the other side of the hog wire fence yelling their heads off and I got there just in time to see the doe come after the dog, trounced it and was turning to come back for a 2nd strike and I yelled and dog and I ran. The doe followed us for a ways and then stopped and snorted. Then left. The dog was unhurt, but a nervous wreck for hours.

Yep. I think it’s rutting season.

[crusty old prospector]

I wonder if that deer is able to apply under Obamao Care to go to a smoking cessation clinic?

[GladesGuru]

It’s hunting season, damn it!

That buck was made of venison. What has happened to Texas, that food can cow not one, but two grown men.

Oh, they were not carrying, and so were forced to cower before venison stew. Serves ‘em right for not exercising their Second Amendment right to be, as Jefferson said, “..at all times armed...”.

Could one then conclude that the unarmed are subject to, and deserve, being bucked?

[OB1kNOb]

Boo! ;-)

[molson209]

Oh , Deer !!

[Average Al]

Perhaps doe pee is another secret ingredient in the guys smokes. ;-)

[crusty old prospector]

The buck stops here.

"What kind of person approaches a buck??" They're not bulls. They are actually a bit tame. They are in the yard most days. I've have them sleeping on the porch and in the yard. My dogs love them, they want to play. Here's a few from just this morning.

ROFL

“When was the last time you could get cigarettes for a buck?”

BOO! Hissss!!!

We used to feed the ones at the Ag extention at UofI Pop’s Newports when I was a kid. They LOVED cigarettes.
