Mule deer never appeared in plain sight ten days before hunting season.

Because they all have the date marked on their calendars.

Sue could feel the horns puncture her thigh

The deer was playing a musical horn or had a car horn on him?

Is the girl still grounded?

In northern California we just count one side also.

I have always been warned to stay away from bucks during mating season. I only see them during the Fall in my backyard, otherwise it’s all does and fawns.

I have heard of quite a few deer attacks. Here is a video of one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNGGbozilko

***Methinks 3 prongs on EACH side is a 6 point buck, not a 3 point buck.****

Eastern count or Western count. I get them mixed up!

***Great, now they’ll tell us we don’t need firearms after all.***

Good thing she didn’t kill the deer. She could have been charged with taking deer out of season, using a non approved weapon, hunting from a road, hunting from a vehicle, allowing wounded game to escape.

Fargo? Grand Forks? Moorhead is my old homestead. Thinking about returning after more than 40 years in the warmer climes...

***In Preston ID, some other people use their hands to kill deer:****

Back in 1968, some anti-gun professor claimed to hunt without guns and said he had strangled a badger with his bare hands.

The interviewer noticed he had NO scars from the badger hunt.

Don’t tell anybody but I used to tease my Minnesota friends that when they secretly measured their, um, personal antler they had to measure up three inches on one side and down three on the other in order to get six!

on’t know anything about mule deer (or even our native white-tailed deer, for that matter). Are they known to attack people like this?

It's very rare but it does happen. I've never heard of a buck attacking a jogger but I have heard them attacking a hunter that was antler rattling.

Was that an assault hammer?
Was it properly registered?

When they snort like a bull, I back off.

No one had a gun?

I guess some hunters don’t appreciate the value of firarms for self defense or the defense of a third party.

Out in the Rockies they only describe a buck deer or a bull elk by the points on one of its antlers. Why? I have no idea. I’ve always just accepted it. Although I have taken the liberty of describing a buck or a bull, even out there, by how many points are on each side, e,g., a 4 X 4 mule deer or a 6 X 6 bull elk, for instance. FWIW.

If that works the same for moving violations, then I may I only be pulled over Out West...

;-)

Totally off topic— while I would never pay for a vanity plate, I have toyed around with what I would put on one if I did. Top choices are:

PNTLSS
LTHLWPN

And, for my mom:

DRGNLDY (her idea)
GLT TRP (my idea)

For that annoying co-worker:

BGUPBUT

One year while bow hunting for elk, we parked our ATVs by some trees and continued to hike up the hill. When we were approx 300 yards away from our machines we turned and watched a doe that came upon our machines, start to snort and striking at the ATVs with her front leg. She never connected which was lucky for her.
