I saw an older guy hand-feeding or maybe petting a grown deer in his front yard this past weekend. That was odd. By the time I realized what I was seeing, it was too late to whip the camera phone out. I saw the same deer standing in his yard (same spot) yesterday when I was driving home from work. The guy wasn't there, but I think the deer was waiting for him.

And now, Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy....

I think if a deer came up to me like that, there would be a temptation to try and ride it or maybe go all Mongo on it (ala Blazing Saddles). But then if I did that, it probably wouldn't come back.

If it was a doe I'd try to nevermind.

FGM shot one awhile back...

I still can't believe it.

I think I would've noticed if the dude (or doe) was wearing a thong.

FGM archery hunts does with "shocker" arrows.

They never saw him coming.

Hehe.

Dave,

A bit of advice....Don't get into a physical altercation with a deer. You will get your butt handed to you.

I'm thinking if you tried to catch a ride, you would get an azz whoopin.

(the voice of experience)

around here, deer have become more like rats. They are everywhere and eat every thing green. Our cheery trees are destroyed, flower blooms are gone as soon as they bloom, garden is trampled and munched up.......

any given night/early morning you can find half a dozen or more deer in my neighborhood. yes, I live within the city limits a fair distance from any real open space. most lots are 1.4 acre or less.

^ you or MattieB ?!!!

either

9 for 7 !!!

what if I just hurl insults at it about its mother?

I guess then I would just look plain silly if someone saw me.

^

Are we talking Andrew Dice Clay insults, Don Rickles insults or just plain old name calling?

Could be worse Dave.

Not like standing behind it trying to whisper sweet nothings into its ear.

i say f it jump on it a ride it..but you might want to wear a helmit.. cause if it does want to hurt you they go for the head with there hoofs. and that is bad..

get them to eat out of your hand and a .22 revolver is all you need

Is that how the indians (feather not dot) did it?

you sure it wasn't one of those life size deer targets?

maybe on day one you drive by and the guy was putting the target out in the yard. day two you drive by and target is standing in same spot?

Here's a redneck story for you....

We were freshmen in High School. The toughest guy in school pound for pound name was Jesse W. No one messed with Jesse. He weighed about 165 pounds and could bench press as much as our biggest linemen on the football team. He was PURE muscle and had an attitude to go with it.

So Jesse comes to school one day with his face all cut up. We asked, "Who did you find that would actually fight you?" So Jesse tells us that he gut shot a doe that morning. He wanted to see how tough she was so he decided to wrestle with her. Long story short, she kicked his azz.

^Sounds like the kid was all brawn and zero brains.
