Don’t kid yourself. Given the chance, the deer would have killed you and your husband, and destroyed everything dear to you.

I was with my first husband when he went hunting and he shot a deer and it was a terrible experience. The look in that deer’s eyes. I think he had a bigger brain than you would think.

Well I will never do that again. I vote for finding some way to protect your pumpkins than shooting the deer. They are beautiful creatures. And they don’t taste all that good besides.

Now, elk, that’s pretty tasty. They are like deer only bigger. I saw one on somebody’s wall once and I told my husband, “Jeff has the biggest deer you ever saw in your life on his story wall.” They look like majestic creatures as well.

Men sometimes look noble, but they will stomp all over each other to get to the food. I tell people in my ward that my husband is a food whore because if you cook it, he will come.

As far as repelling deer, complaining about it and calling them names isnt an effective means of deterance unless youre willing to do it in your garden 24×7. Try some chicken wire and stakes around your garden. If youre too lazy for that, or your garden is too big, try this very effective deterent:

If youre in a suburban area adjacent to some open land, an easy way to deal with deer is to feed them off your land with a salt block and some cracked corn feed, both of which are available at any feed store. A 50lb bag of cracked corn is dirt cheap, or get whatever is on sale at Southern States, and if you stock it regularly the deer will go there instead of into your yard, as will the squirrels. If youre in a rural area, its a great way to lure deer, so build a tree stand nearby. You won’t attract more deer than you already have living in the area, as deer are reasonably territorial, although you could impact the population come Spring because they arent being starved out.

The reason deer are getting up into residential areas is because the MD/VA area is going through a drought, so the natural forage is poor or gone. So, theyre going to eat the stuff in your yard that youre watering, because its better than dried up leaves and twigs.

Deer ARE evil–my husband just hit one at 75 mph last week. Luckily the brush bar on the front of the truck took the brunt of the impact. Mostly. Alas, deer are not nearly as yummy as caribou or moose (or horse) so there’s no sense trying to butcher the carcase. I think the buck was simply suicidal and decided to throw itself in front of the nearest moving vehicle–perhaps he’d been rejected by the does too many times (it IS rutting season in ND).

I recommend the book Lehi in the Desert and also the World of the Jaredites. In this book Dr. Nibley deftly describes how mundane modes of travel were and how they would not have mentioned this in their accounts. For example, if you were to tell me you took a trip to San Francisco yesterday, I hardly would expect you to tell me you jumped into your Toyota Corolla and drove to the city. Rather, you would talk about how much fun you had while you were there, things you saw, and learned.

Now about riding deer into battle. I would need to reexamine this; however, I do not think deer contain the necessary physical strength to hold a man with weapons, armor, etc, into battle with a sustained run.

Just a quick thought.

Thanks.

“No doubt some day human beings will be beat out by gigantic cockroaches from another planet.”

Wrong, wrong, WRONG. Any cockroach that can take us on will, naturally, be a more advanced creature, which means it would fully understand the symbiotic nature of interstellar life, the great web of etc., and so on. Which means we humans would be fully protected by cockroach rangers and a rigorous permit system. I for one welcome our new cockroach masters.

[Deer] whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It’s death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

And the [deer] that you carve with a smile
Is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
Is MURDER
Do you know how animals die ?

Kitchen aromas aren’t very homely
It’s not “comforting”, cheery or kind
It’s sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER

It’s not “natural”, “normal” or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER

NO, NO, NO, IT’S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT’S MURDER
Oh … and who hears when animals cry ?

The reasons for legal intervention in favor of children apply not less strongly to the case of those unfortunate slaves – - the animals.
