Problem is not enough hunters.
Deer are like rats all over town here.












* disclaimer= I dont hunt either, starts too early for me.

Thank goodness she is okay,

Many years ago in Scotland after a very good dinner party, my mother drove one of the guests home and hit a red deer. I was sent out at 2am in the RR Classic to dispatch it (make sure it was dead)

The deer had a broken back, but was still very much alive and what followed can only be best described as a very black comedy, as i slipped around in the snow and ice trying to pin down the deer so I could slit its throat and bash its head in with a spade.

As luck would have it, just as I was manhandling the deer onto the tailgate, the local constable turned up, and judging from the look on his face when I walked around from behind the LR, covered in blood was priceless ( i think he thought I was some deranged serial killer caught in the act)

The constable then thought i had been poaching, so i pointed out if i was poaching deer I would be better armed than with a knife and spade and would not be dressed in a dinner jacket.

Eventually I finished loading into the back of the LR and drove home, leaving the deer in the boot with the intention of dropping it off at the game keepers cottage the next day.

What i had forgotten was that my mother was taking my sister and a couple of her friends to the train station early that morning, The screaming from several teenage girls finding "bambi" in a pool of blood when they went to put their bags into the back of the RR should have raised the dead.

I dropped the deer off the next day with the game keeper, and was then told to come and collect the dressed carcase a few days later. Well my mother and sister were having none of that, so i returned the carcase , explained the situation and was later called to collect "bambi" who was now carefully jointed and packed into freezer bags.:)
