I see it, but I don't believe it. Did that hunter shoot the ungulate k. d. lang?

DES MOINES, Iowa A northeast Iowa hunter thought he might have shot a trophy buck when he shot a 14-point deer during Iowa's first shotgun season early this month.
25-year-old Eric Weymiller, of rural Harpers Ferry, started to field dress the animal when _ to his surprise _ he noticed it wasn't a buck at all.
He discovered that he was dressing a doe sporting antlers with 14 tines, a big rack even for a buck.
Weymiller says he stopped field dressing the doe and called a D-N-R biologist, who confirmed that the animal was a female.
More research will be required to determine whether Weymiller's deer's antlers are large enough to set a record for doe antlers.
He shot the animal December 7th in Allamakee Count
A doevestite.
gag.
Oh. And there, you see? I've learned something else!
Yeah...I've only "heard". Never seen one. It's something that's supposedly linked to pollutants that make their way into the water supplies.
I see it, but I don't believe it. Did that hunter shoot the ungulate k. d. lang?

That's not right. That gave me the heebie-jeebies. |
Since it has antlers, it's a little more butch than that..
*groan*
This is the predjudiced nonsense that I frequently receive in my email.
REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.
Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.
Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.
We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-old man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.
How was your last hunting adventure?
I once asked my mother if female deer had horns, and she laughed and answered, "No, they're not horny!" Then she added, "That's probably how the slang word developed."
Then, Wednesday morning I had a trophy deer in my rifle scope. The ranch hand with me in the blind kept saying wait, wait, wait, because he wanted me to be clear of the other deer walking with him. Okay. Well, seven minutes later with this gigantic deer in my scope and me hyperventilating, he says GO.
My scope had been looking like a 6.7 Los Angeles earthquake for at least the previous five minutes.
I whiffed. I missed. I steenkin' shot a foot IN FRONT of the the buck's nose. ROFL. Had it been a doe, or a paper target, no problemo. Dog Gone got BUCK FEVER.
I scared the crap outta that deer, though.
Or I could be nice and say, "Dang that's a big deer you almost got"
Trust me, the gay lesbian coalition will get ahold of this article and use it as proof of a gay gene ... and imply that 20% of us have it!! ;-)
That was about 210 lbs of deer I get credit for missing. Not everyone could do that!
You are the KING of unhit deer - I'll bet even your car can't hit a deer....that is some record!
Well, to be fair, one of those deer I failed to shoot was actually an elk.
That is true so you haven't hit and elk and you haven't hit a deer...... next year you could try for not hitting a moose!
I feel confident in my abilities to not hit a moose. That's what women admire in me. My confidence.
Think what a great addition to your trophy case not hitting that moose would be!!!
That is just so wrong.
