Randy Waxwing, spokesman for the Lake Superior Spear, Boomerang & Bow- hunters Ltd., said residents with plastic deer in their yards should remove them from now through season's end on Dec. 31 to protect them during the municipal bow-hunting season. "You can't blame our people for shooting plastic deer; they're so life-like. Many of our own members have plastic deer themselves as inspiration for hunting season. Hunters love deer; that's why we kill them."
Thelma Twelvetrees of Thelma's Yard, Garden and Southern Belle Figurine Emporium, which sells ornamental deer, said sales are down since the city bowhunting season was announced. "People don't want to fork over good money for plastic deer only to have them shot full of arrows," she said. It was not known how the decline in faux deer sales would affect city sales tax receipts.
Finally, Professor Michael Angelo, head of the Sculpture and Human Sexuality Department at the Arrowhead College of Carnal Knowledge, said plastic ornamental deer are an important part of American art on a par with department store mannequins. "I once saw a fake deer with a nude female mannequin astride it. Priceless," said Angelo, 43, who is registered with the police.
You have obviously never been to red-neck country. They go hand in hand with the old toilet used as a flower vase! BTW, anyone who named his child Orval should be charged with child abuse. :-)

>>>"My decorative doe, Felicity, had an arrow sticking out of her hind quarter,"
Ummmm, yeah.
My guess is there is a hunter with a good sense of humor ;)
I confess, Orval's deer was eating the plastic flowers from my toilet and I just have had it with Orval so I shot his deer. He has a nice fat lady though.
I'm thinking that the standards of journalism have really been slipping at the Duluth News Tribune in the wake of the major media scandals at the New York Times, CBS,etc.
I wasn't quite sure until I reached this paragraph:

Ian Fleming's screen writer must have given this town a list of names to use.
May I ask why one would put a painted piece of plywood depicting a woman bending over in a garden? Enquiring minds want to know. Don't get me wrong, I am surrounded by these ornaments, but I have just never understood it. Seriesly! :-)
I'd like to know the history behind that last name.
"...of Hunter's Park..."
Jeez, come on Orval. If you live in Hunter's Park, you've got to expect hunters.
