Default Deer prevention

Sometime I will share my story about a bear.

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?
