Transcript:
Hunter: I wanted to hunting today, but now I think I've changed my mind. I don't know what it is. I just have such low self-esteem. Deer: 'Cause he's fat. Wife: Vigilante deer can be so mean.
Hmm. On the Walking Dead, Daryl goes hunting and recently he can’t find any deer. Although we know that deer population is increasing for lack of predators. What a massive FAIL by the story writers.
There was a PC game called “Deer Hunter”. Never played it, no desire to hunt, even in a game. However, both my wife and I played the heck out of “Deer Hunter Avenger”. Premise was as above, the deer were the hunters, and used such bait as a six-pack of beer, or a semi-naked woman. Worked, too, got them every time. Silly game, but fun.
For what’s left of my days on earth, I’ll never understand the mindset of bleating, tweeting sorts that drive their digi-mobiles down the interstates at excessive speeds never expecting that they’re going to die at the hooves of the random deer.(couldn’t say ‘at the hands now, could I?) Yet, up to that morning they always fed and provided sanctuary for the “cute little darlings.” There’s irony in all this. I’ve pulled too many guts and fur from these type incidents, and the deer were messes, too.. Our forebears used them for sustenance, weseem to use them for entertainment and ‘cute’ Facebook pictures.
Specific sports is an individual taste. I can see why American football is not in the Olympics. It’s like watching heavy calvary dueling. Hunting and fishing — and camping in general — is more about being one with nature. Shooting, now; that’s a sport! Specially mixed with an aerobic sport like cross-country skiing.

Deer meat is low in fat. It might be a good choice for someone who is weight conscious.

The above seems to be the reason humans are such a delightful species…

At least this is better than the penguin storyline…

momma could lose a little poundage also, and he took a dump in the woods, and that why they are mad at him.

Something must be done about these vigilante deer, before they completely upset the Rule of Law!

at least it’s not another Rat strip, so tired of him. I guess crocs only get once a month appearance now…they made this strip, not the stupid Rat.

What makes this funny is that in real life, deer are more vigilant than vigilante.

This is my weapon, this is my gun. One is for shooting vigilante deer the other’s for fun!
