They got disoriented by the mall. I know exactly how they felt.

Whitetail deer kill more Americans than any other species. They currently exceed muslim terrorists in this endeavour as well...

Another was accidentally run over by a minivan nearby. According to WDAY-TV, the driver took the dead deer home for dinner.

Ah that proves there are rednecks in Minnesota! (Honey you won't believe the road kill I harvested today!)

What? Why not take perfectly good venison home if it literally lands in your lap?

We're just being good stewards of the Earth, doncha know.

There is quite a different breed in NW Minnesota compared to the Nancy Boys in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

I earned my master's degree at Minnesota State University in Moorhead. This is hunting and fishing country. The attitude up there is that the deer help themselves to our grain fields; we help ourselves to the deer.

If it is said that 94% of Minnesotans like to fish, then we ask what is wrong with the other 6%.

I’ve personally never had deerburger (I’m more of a Kentucky redneck), but I’ve heard it’s good.

Where I live, it’s a virtual race to be the one who nabs the freshly hit deer off the road, especially in the winter.

If it’s not smashed up and hasn’t laid around long, it’s edible.

I’ve seen fresh kills on the mountain coming back from town and sped home to get a plastic bag to spread on the Yukon’s floor and gone back to find my “free 100 pounds of dog food” already gone in less than 5 minutes.

Dogs gotta eat, same as buzzards.

Mmm. Cheese. And even better cheese. And beer.

Aw, dammit! Now you've got me thinking about how much I want a six-pack of real beer (not this O'doul's swill), and some deep-fried cheese curds, and then after that a nice fat stogie!

Ground venison tends to be a bit on the dry side for most people. The steaks and tenderloins are best when marinated for a few hours and then cooked on the grill, but I prefer to use the ground venison in chili, or mix it about 50/50 with ground pork to make sausage.

Around here we call that "bumper tenderized."

Funniest thing: every now and then you'll see a roadkilled deer carcass on the side of the highway that looks a little strange at first, and when you get a closer look, you realize it's because the head is missing. All you can think is that someone drove by, spotted the set of antlers on the roadkill, and said, "I have got to have those!"

Gotta say that 6 deer do not a “herd” make, not around here anyway. But definitely have hit several, and every time I went back to pick up the carcass.... it was gone— rapidly. Country people— resourceful, fast people that don’t waste a thing.

Metaphor for the democrats trying to unseat walker. Wandered into reality, created some havoc, but still just a bunch of dumb deer.

Well there’s always the example of that old French lady who made it into her hundred-and-teens drinking a glass of Chianti every day. Anything can be overdone I suppose. Bake the cheese instead of frying it?

It's related to the magnetic poles getting ready to flip.

It's a Romney thing, you wouldn't understand.

I see those on the interstate.

On the back road, the buck follows fairly late after the does cross so they’re least likely to get hit.

On the interstate, there’s so much traffic that their odds are not so good.

Sometimes you see the “fur puddle deer” headless.

That takes a pretty strong stomach.

;D

Take the ground venison, a gob of -real- butter, some garlic, mix thoroughly and grill/fry.

Food of the gods.

Ground venison tends to be a bit on the dry side for most people.

try adding bacon in while grinding it. i add about 1/6lb bacon per pound of venison.

"Deer are like rabbits down there"

When I was living in Minnesota, the farmers called whitetails "rats with antlers." Very destructive animals.
