Dad vs Deer - Introduction
In honor of my father's 70th birthday I wrote a story. This story is real and all charaters depicted do exist. There is a chance that the story has been embelished. I had major brain surgery a year ago and cannot be expected to remember EVERYTHING with perfect clarity any longer.
Before anyone can jump all over me for deer hunting - Yes, my family hunts deer. No, I don't have a problem with it. There are too many deer in this area for it to be a healthy and sustainable population. With out legal deer hunting there were be far more vehicular deerslaughter cases. and the human injuries that go along with that as well. And, larger deer populations mean that deer herd up and spread disease to one another more easily. Chronic Wasting disease is already a problem and would only get worse without a thinning of the deer population.
And that's what I think about that.
