A huge thank you to Herbert Bert, the One Man Brass Band, for filling in at the last minute when Tony the World's Smallest Talking Pony had to cancel. Don't worry, folks, he's not actually ill, just a little horse.
There is a false logic to saying don't shoot "this" deer when it is an oddity vs. that deer that is not. After all, many people seek out nontypical racks, right? In nature, anything that stands out gets whacked! One single out of color feather on a grouse in a flock, and a prairie falcon locks it's targeting mechanism on that bird! That's why uniform patterning or coloring is so effective at confusing the predator...think of zebra in a herd....then think of one of them without stripes on the legs. Which one gets picked out and picked off?
These people that get emotionally overwrought like this are the same people that get emotianally overwrought when their pet is in distress and agony from old age. They fight like hell to make sure that animal suffers a few days longer out of "kindness". When I get old or so broken down that life is a burden, I want everyone around me to understand I would appreciate it if they would grab the power cord to whatever machine is keeping me alive and pull it. AND PULL IT LIKE YOU ARE STARTING A LAWNMOWER!
Dang, mullet...back off! It's only a hangnail and a headcold, not yet! Not yet, I say!
