haha I got a chuckle out of that.





I wasn't thinking the ammo was for something like a deer. More along the lines of some mythical creature. Not so grand as a unicorn or pegasus but certainly somekind of centaur or valkries. Something born of fancy and whimsy.

That looks like roast hambone to me!


We have lots of deer around here. Right in the city. I think they are smarter than us drivers. We havn't hit one yet.

"Cougars have been hunted heavily, but their population is now making something of a come back.

Without their natural predators to keep the deer population in check, their numbers have sky rocketed and they present a real menace on this nation's highways."

Yet again.....the fault of humans. The hunter kills the cougar, the hunter says:

"hot diggity festus, we done gots r-selves a bunch of dat-burnt-deers tuh kill! Toss me some chaw ayand a 6-pack and lets go yonder ayand shoots us some of them thar killer deers!"

We can foster the protection of the cougar and re-introduce wolves, for one thing. I was nearly killed in a collision with an elk and spent two weeks in the ICU and was a year recovering from my injuries. A friend of mine in western Colorado was also seriously injured in a crash with a deer. When I lived in the small town of Nucla in western Colorado, I know of two people who were killed by highway encounters with deer. The road from Telluride to Naturita, Colorado (about 60 miles) is sheer terror to drive from 3:00 in the afternoon on. It consists of many blind curves and encounters with deer around everyone of them. I hit deer twice on this road and once did a complete 360 as a result of the collision and was almost hit by a large coal truck barreling down the road from the opposite direction. In both these incidents, the deer bounded off into the hills, apparently none the worse for wear.

You bet, Festus, get on out there with your rifles and all your friends.

Or tripped and fell. You forgot that one.

Humans have only been around about 40,000 years, and maybe we've got another 5,000 years under the sun, if that. Neither humans or the deer are gonna make it, regardless of our encroachment.

BTW, despite how tasty it is, now that BSE has shown up in the deer herds, I'm gonna pass on the vension. It's gettin to be regoddamdiculous. What the hell am I 'sposed to eat now?

It is not the fault of the deer that the roads travel through their territory.

You believe deer should be killed you must also believe that when you travel where they live it is at your own risk and your choice of where you drive.

Blame mankind mari, not the deer.

I take not pitty either on those who hike, jog or what not through cougar territory and get attacked. Those made a choice, just as I do when we hike.

I beleive the deer population must be brought under control. I think the re-introduction of natural predators is the best way to do so. Its actually kinder to the deer to kill them with a hunter's bullet then have them die of starvation in the winter because the population has increased so enormously that they have exceeded the carrying capacity of their habitat.

You would have the people of western Colorado just pick up and move to Denver. Why should we? We have no choice but to drive down that one stretch of road. Its the only highway between Telluride where there are jobs and Norwood and Naturita/Nucla where people can afford to live. Your proposal that people just stay off the roads is ridiculous.

Cougar attacks on man are fairly rare and nothing compared to the carnage on the highways caused by deer. In all my years driving in Colorado, I have yet to see a group of courgars congregated round the other side of a curve and dash into the middle of the road and just stay there.

I spent 3 months camped alone in lion country and never had a single encounter with one. I used common sense and avoided running around on game trails at dawn or dusk - the times when cougars are most active. Adults who bike or jog in lion country at dusk are asking for it, and I, too, have little sympathy for them.

There's somewhat of a deer population issue around my house too. And I don't see any other means of overpopulation control than controlled hunting of *some* of the deer.
I'd rather have a hunter kill it and make some awesome jerkey than have a greater chance of another two deer running *into* the side of my car going 45 again..
there was fur stuck behind my liscence plate for 3 months.
