PETA will flip out. It's hard to believe this is from the Times.

Get ready for some VENISON.

[Capriole]

They should be harvested for food. They aren't too cute to eat. I can almost taste the venison stew now. . .

There are 55,000 car-deer accidents in Wisconsin every year, many fatal. Protecting deer isn't environmentalism. It's murder.

Just watch out for liver flukes, otherwise Bambi-burgers are yummy!

Here in Washington State, we have Elk which, in terms of size, are between white tails and moose. Hit a male Elk and there is a good chance the both of you will be going to the great forest in the sky.

Unchecked deer leads to coyotes over-running the place. If people don't want deer hunts then they better get used to having no small pets. The coyotes think of them as snacks that are much easier to catch than deer.

Here in CT there are no "lost" cats only snacks that won't be coming home.

fencing, contraception and other gentle tactics have proved largely ineffective

You can lead a deer to a condom, but you can't make him use it.

[Domestic Church]

The solution is venison pot roast( cooked with Louisiani Hot Sauce, red wine, garlic and coriander seeds!

"PETA will flip out. It's hard to believe this is from the Times."

Well notice that theTimes stops short of recommending hunting - an activity that is too testosterone intensive to pass its PC requirments.

Just a reminder to cool off your deer as quickly as possible and to SKIN it as quick as possible. The gaminess comes from the glands in the skin which transfers thru the fat and then into the meat.

Also don't forget to let the meat hang to age/tenderize/ and get rid of the "raw" taste.

Do this and you will fool the bambi lovers every time.

PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals


It's time to cull the herds.

[Dan from Michigan]

Sharpshooters are a waste of money.

Two words. BOW HUNTING.

[Dan Evans]

I'll bet someone at the Times just ran into a deer with his Mercedes.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Not a cute deer.

Cute deer.

[Noachian]

White-tailed deer are a plague.

Wasn't the NY Times behind the animal rights activists some years ago when they called deer hunters murders, and lobbied for a reduction in deer hunting tags?

So, now they've reversed their opinion? What happened? Did the NY Times editors find that uncontrolled deer populations can ruin their lawns, and flower beds?

All of a sudden "Bambi" isn't so cute when they plow into one while driving on the Turnpike into NY City.

Deer must of got into the editoral writer's garden. Now only if we returned some of those cute, cuddly wolves to suburban New York . . .

I once hit a deer on a motorcycle in Kentucky, a small doe right around dawn. Luckily I was going straight and only moving 35 mph or so.

The doe just appeared in my headlight, flying over a low stone wall by the side of the road. I centerpunched her before I even knew what was going on. Somehow I didn't wreck, but my right side exhaust pipe was flattenend, my front fender was missing, there was hair all around my headlight, and I still have the gas tank in my garage with a big soft dent in one side.

[wildbill]

But God forbid, the herd should be thinned by hunters, I suppose.

[LibKill]

These are food animals. We should EAT them!
