If i was in charge of this I'd get out the ol' 30:06 and prepare for a big Bambi Barbeque ... problem solved

[HarleyLady27]

you sure that this is deer and not "little dicky durbin?"

All joking aside, this is very serious.

[kenth]

How unenlightened and non-progressive of you.

[Trust but Verify]

Or maybe these people could just jog/walk somewhere else while the does raise their fawns. The university is invading their habitat, not the other way around.

[gundog]

Starving fawns...lovely.

I had a couple of deer hit me in Kansas while driving my mean SUV>>>>

The deer are probably protecting a fawn. Overpopulation of deer due to the bleeding heart liberal no gun, no hunt and no traditional culture are to blame.

When Bambi goes bad

Venison ping.

some deer is going to get his arse kicked

[GreenHornet]

Round up the offending deer, and send them to GITMO.

(If for no other reason, it will drive Dick Durbin nuts!)

I have never read such malarkey in my life. Deer attacking people! Next it will be vicious jackrabbits.

I have been a hunter and outdoorsman all my adult life. The people who claim to have been attacked by deer may well benefit from drug counseling and/or psychiatric testing.

I had the occasion to travel from Detroit MI to the Houghton Lake area two weeks ago, and noted there were at least 7 deer carcasses along side the road. On the return back to Detroit, using a different route, at least that many more were spotted. Assuming the Michigan DOT picks up the carcasses frequently (none were in a really bad state of decay, the deer population in Michigan must really be huge. It's no wonder they are confronting humans at an increasing rate.

Deer meat is quite tasty. Most likely it's loads better than the meat that they serve in the dining halls!

Deer have a rep for being harmless and reclusive. A buck in rut can be real dangerous. I've read of several fatalities over the years caused by hormoned up bucks. Last November, my sis-in-law stopped on the side of the road to make a call when all of the sudden a buck rams into here driver's side door. Made a hell of dent. She had to drive off as he was making another charge.

I even read once where a small boy had his lungs fatally punctured by a pi$$ed of doe. The author of the story said the kids were feeding some deer at Yellowstone decades ago. He said it hoofed the kid so fast that it was almost imperceptible.

Seven people have been threatened or attacked by deer on Southern Illinois University's main campus over the past two weeks, prompting the school to post warnings about the animal aggressiveness

"There I was, walking down the path, when this deer steps out from behind a tree. A cigarette dangled from the corner of his mouth, and he was twirling a knife in one hoof. 'Your money or your life,' he sneered..."

WARNING TO MY FELLOW FREEPers: Before you shoot make sure it isn't Bambi!!!
