    The island is also infested with those damn Bambi's . Winter comes and many starve to death or Feral dogs tear em up. Sad. Anti hunting people should have to witness that kind of death.

    Here in Oregon we don't call them Bambi cause they're to damn big. Here is a typical Mule deer in Oregon. You hit one of these bad boys, your done. You gotta ride defensively for deer here if you want to live.

    We have tough deer here. They hang in gangs and carry midnight specials. Hunters are becoming a threatened species.

    Horrible death when canines kill,should toss an anti-hunting azzhat in front of a pack of wild dogs...

    Up here deer are bad,in the Highlands and Newfoundland and prolly the New England States,you have to be careful of these critters.

    Thankfully we don't have any Moose here. Seen one in Wyoming once and they are way to big. Even the smallest of deer can kill a motorcyclist.

    Deer here reach around 150 lbs. - big enough to kill ya. We get several bikers killed each year around here hitting them. Mostly the young, crotch rocket crowd.
