I always thought that the only wildlife in "NYC, NY" was poodles, pigeons and rats!
What borough is that, anyway?  |

| Oh no, now the Texans are going to stop using "feeders" and "blinds" to do what they call hunting and start including dobros in thier gun lockers. Play them the melody once and BANG. |

Er, Mike, that's "Doe a deer"...I've never been accused of the other....
Ok, the story here.....there are no natural predators in this neck of the woods (beach actually), and since this area is part of the National Seashore, there is no hunting. Over the years the deer have become used to people and are friendly, especially if you have something for them to eat. They walk around and act like big dumb dogs.
There is an over population and one year there was a bow hunting season permitted in order to thin out the herd. New Yorkers are not the greatest frontiersmen and only one deer was recorded taken that entire season. Probably by accident anyway. This did very little to curtail the population and so that was the end of the hunting theory and season.
I like to play and practice outside and on this particular day, 4 deer came by. I guess the other two thought that I wasn't country enough, or didn't sound Hawaiian enough. Can't please all of the deer all of the time....
Keoki, that was a good one...LOL[This message was edited by HowardR on 16 November 2002 at 10:06 AM.] |

| Gary - Just got back from a hunting trip here in TEXAS (didn't shoot a thang) I wish I had seen Howard's post before going - I would have taken one of my BENOIT'S instead of my Bow and Arrows. Howard, Let me know when hunting season is on Long Island & I'll hire you as my guide. |
