It seems that deer are getting more tame as time passes. They just give me a casual glance and get right back to their business.

There used to be a Deer in the field behind my house, i think it escaped from a Deer farm so i and the neighbors did,nt tell anyone about it. It lived over the Winter in a wood adjoining the field - until some local macho man (***HOLE) shot it, was lovely to see it - but alas, no more.

I can not imagine anyone wanting to kill these poor creatures, who are having a tough time surviving as it is. We had a moose walk down the middle of the road a few years ago and some idiot was chasing it. I have no idea of what he would do if he caught up to it, but it would serve him right if he did.

Yep, I,m with the moose on that one. I remember one time when i was only a teenager, i was in Spain on a school holiday and a Bull fight came on the T.V. and it was brutal, all of a sudden the Bull got the Bullfighter and i instinctively let out a cheer, only to look around and notice the silence in the crowded café/bar, not a moment i will forget.
