Default Deer prevention


That was really a silly response, John. And, you don't actually have a
problem with hunters, unless you are a vegetarian.

Are you a vegetarian?


I used to be until a friend of mine put a Philly cheese steak in my face. I
have followed bear and deer and saw fun things. It does bother me, i.e.,
the way the deer have been pushed from once fertile forest, to farm lands,
to housing developments. Life is a journey, powered by the sun. On this
journey I have become connected to bear and deer. I have no problem with
deer. Another good friend of mine was in front of me heading south on 202
when a small heard of deer where jumping into cars. There is a medium of
about 30' of mowed turf. All of the deer except a young one got across the
North bound lanes. Speed limit 55MPH. Me and my friend stopped. I went
into the medium and the young deer came over and placed his or her head on
my leg. My friend and I had trouble stopping North bound traffic for the
young one to cross. Finally one driver did stop and others followed and the
deer crossed and went off. The sad thing is the deer was coming from and
heading into, another development where most likely was thought of as a
nuisance as many of you claim. That's where I am at. The deer are not my
enemy. Yes I eat meat. I would rather be vegetarian to be honest. Oh
well. PEACE!

You are not my enemy are you?
