Plus, venison is so damned tasty...how could you not eat it?

I am deer's natural predator. Does that count?

Most certainly! I shall amend my sentence above to: "A death by starvation is far more cruel and drawn out than death by a hunter's gun or a predator's claw or a wolf's fang." I would love to see wolves re-introduced to Colorado. One of the most amazing experiences I ever had was the sighting of two wolves in one of Colorado's wilderness areas. I was with a man who worked for the forest service and had a degree in zoology and he confirmed my ID of "wolf" for the two canids we saw through binoculars about a quarter mile distant from where we were standing.

Technically, I don't have fangs. I have a .308

a deer suddenly jumped in front of my car. I swerved to avoid it, hit a ditch running alongside the road and was in intensive care for 4 weeks afterwards.
That is why people buy Expeditions and Hummers. You also have to learn not to swerve.

Says the CYBER wolf. You've probably got a fricken laser beam on your head or something.

Yeah, someone mentioned the not swerving thing to me when I was laying there in the hospital on a ventilator. It's hard to overcome the automatic response to steer out of the way of a sudden impediment in the road. I know of someone who DIDN'T swerve and the deer came right through her windshield - kicking hooves, antlers and all. Needless to say, she, too, was seriously injured. If anyone would like to make a donation to my "Buy Marichiko a Hummer" fund, please PM me and I'll let you know where to send the cash.

Now what'd you have to go and tell everyone for? Geez!

Well, it's either that, or you're not real...
