Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 15, 2014

The trouble is that guys who “hunt for sport” are trying to make themselves believe that they’re manly, and you can’t do that very well while tossing a foam football.

I say we arm the deer, bears, and mountain goats so they can shoot back in self defense. Fair is fair.

He was just standing his ground against those vigilante deer and their nerf weapon. Or maybe he was afraid they would burst into song or text or something else he would find offensive.

He missed. At that range at least one of them should have been down while he lined up a shot on the other one.

That’s what happens when you knock on Sarah Palin’s door.

Why don’t the crocs eat that guy?

What’s with the hat? I thought they were talking to a housemaid in a lace cap.

Dinner! Oh. Wait.You’re Only Allowed To Eat It If It Comes From A Store. Sillies.

Instead of a right to bear arms, how about a right to arm Bears…and Deers and all the rest.

Actually hunters are about the only sane private citizens to own guns……look at a gun rally, most of the people attending own more guns than teeth………..

Dear Doublepaw, I would feel safer unarmed at any NRA convention than with a weapons cache in the Astrodome with any two Obama voters.

Those kind of men carry a gun because, ‘It’ works.

So much for the nerf ball. Next shot will be aimed at you Vigilantes. So, I suggest you get off my lawn….

XD

While I’ve never understood why people can enjoy hunting, I do understand the people who do it and eat all that they get. I don’t get the guys who chop off deer heads and hang them on walls.

BTW, “Mother Goose and Grimm” (viewable on other sites) has quite the setup for a twist on words. If you’ve forgotten the reference, look up “Mending Fences.” The author of the poem does not appear to be approving of the saying. I didn’t recall that.

So the deer is holding the football with his right hoof. The bullet hits it, then whizzes to the deer’s left of his antlers. It must have deflected off the football.

Like talking to a brick wall.

My only problem with hunting is that the ones I know don’t hunt. They sit behind blinds, put out pheromones to attract a buck then with a telescopic rifle kill the animal from a distance. No one actually goes into the forest and tracks down a deer and then kills it.

Maybe the deer could throw a clay football for the hunters to shoot at.

Great strip for my birthday.

He’s got another counter proposal for them. It’s called “RUN YOU LAME EXCUSE FOR VIGILANTEE DEER BEFORE YOU’RE STUFFED AND MOUNTED.”

Finally someone actually responds to the vigilante deer.

Arguing with people who kill defenseless animals to feel manly is a waste of time.
