Does shooting white-tail make one racist?

Family planning for deer but not people?

chaddsfarkprefect: Does shooting white-tail make one racist?


/never hunt with Rev. Sharpton

Why not?

There are thousands of people here in Oregon that would be happy to help with the problem.

Now if concraception would be required for politicians....

Silly idea. Unless the deer maintains an erection, it's going to fall off.

"I thought you wanted to start a family with me."

"I do, deer. But things are complicated right now."

"Don't shoot before you see the whites."
"Of their eyes?"
"Who's eyes?"

I suppose this placates the animal rights activists. However, I still see nothing wrong with hunting. People don't quite understand how overpopulated deer are. When I was a child, my grandfather (then a game warden) took me on a walk, and showed me a deer graveyard. See, deer herds are fiercely territorial, and if one herd expands beyond its resources, they literally can't move. The result is mass starvation of the herd. The image of literally 40-50 skeletal carcasses is pretty much forever burnt into my brain. All he asked me was whether I thought starvation of a whole herd was better, or the quick, relatively painless death of a few via bullet or arrow to keep the population in check. And that was 20 years ago - if those same deer are still breeding... that's a lot of deer.

This will do the same thing, but how many to we use the contraceptive on? Do we literally stop the entire species from breeding? That's terrible too.

I still lean towards hunting, and organized hunts like we have here in PA where the meat can be taken to people who need it.

I'm more concerned as to who gave deer the swine flu.

I really don't understand why they don't just relax hunting regulations... extend the season, and dismiss rules about which ones you can shoot.. open season on ALL deer, regardless of sex or age.

More evidence that abstinence only education fails.

There are not enough people who want to hunt anymore. I hunted until my late teens and not only could you not get me to go hunting, I won't eat the meat anymore. It tastes bad to me. I know why it is needed and at one time wanted to be in wildlife management as a career. But I just can't kill an animal anymore. Now if there were massive food shortages, then I would change my mind.

So, two questions:

1) With no opposible thumbs, how do they open the pill containers?

2) Same concept: open and unroll condoms?

parkthebus: Around here the deer herd is controlled by archery hunts. While that is fairly effective, even some times the municipalities have to hire sharpshooters. Whitetail are pretty good at avoiding predators when they know they are being hunted (they figure it out quick)

Then why don't they figure out to stay off the farkin' roads?

Good point. We need to start hunting them with trucks, maybe they'll get the idea.

No, because now thanks to the militant vegan groups, we have been conditioned to equate hunting with cold-blooded murder.

PETA? People Eating Tasty Animals?

Some people love deer. Some people LOVE deer.

I admit this may be a regional thing, and that I may be wrong here. I have no idea what the culture is like in the North East. Sadly the only culture I live in is the South East (Georgia) so in retrospect I may have overgeneralized. Your point is valid and vegans are way too militant, which seems like an oxymoron.

Along with fewer people into hunting, there are more people into taking over the deer's old territory. The town I live in used to be surrounded by woods and fields and sounded like a popcorn popper during hunting season. Now it's surrounded by golf-course townhouses and McMansions and hardly *anyone* hunts. The deer get squeezed into smaller areas and we've taken away their predators. Then Joe Suburbanite biatches because the deer eat his azaleas.

I've been thinking about taking up hunting again myself... during the fall I've seen as many as 25 deer on the side lawn at a time.

Maybe instead of a bow I should use hand grenades.
