Oh, Deer Me!

What has been your experiences with these specific types of deer? Spotted one, petted one, shot one, ate one, stuffed one?
What else have you done to/with Bambi?

My Randall knife 25-5 has Sambar/leather handle. Sure is purty

Sambar Stag is very desirable for knife handles it is very dense with only a little pith on the inside.

Elk....hunted but never saw one.
Caribou...hunted and ate,
Moose....hunted and ate.
Mule deer.....saw on drives to shooting range (out of season of course)
Oh yes....told my three year old daughter we were having bambi burgers......tears from daughter ....blows about the head and shoulders from spouse

Elk... seen a few in the wild plus some on a farm, and ate some.
Mule deer... ate some.
Key deer...fed some, they seemed to like Oreos.
Reindeer...petted one or two, don't remember eating any.
Moose... seen plenty, ran from a couple, threw hockey pucks and snowballs at a few,
possibly some of the worlds dumbest animals.
Whitetail... hunted some, fed some, ate some, run over two with a Jeep,
and stepped on/fell over an extra dumb one.

Elk, Whitetail, Mule, have all been hunted, killed & eaten by me.

I have seen; Moose, Key, Fallow, Sika, & Red's,, all have been seen by me. And I've eaten a few of these. (I love Moose.)

I have eaten Caribou, & Axis as well.

I missed a few of them with the car

Does your post imply you managed to hit a few also?

Elk, Eastern Whitetail, mule deer, hunted, killed, and eaten.
Axis and Fallow deer - eaten

For me only white tail: Shot, skinned, ate. For me the eating part is the fun part.

My husband he is the same but add mule deer and elk to the list. He also tells about a special deer named Bambi he met once downtown but when she said she charges he took a pass on that!

My thread so I can get off topic...
Ever drink any Goats milk...?
What type of bacon are you getting when you eat it?
What kind of dog do you have?
WHAT? No Democrats in the last picture?????????

I met a girl in Thailand by that name. She was quite dear.

White tail... aka vehiclulsus smashus makem say bad words... probably hit close to 20 through the years with everything from a Mack dump truck (turned the deer into mush) to my wife's new Buick which was totalled because it blew the airbags. A couple of times I have hit more than one at a time and even had them run into the side of the vehicle that I was driving.

whitetail population 1.4 million in the show-me state and growing

everything from tripping over them to jerky

I hunt and eat whitetail. Hit 1 with my 1 month old P/U, 2 with a tractor/trailer and 1 that ran across a wide open field so it could run into the side of said tractor leaving a hole in the door from antler. That spun him around and sent him running back from whence he came. I think that is a pretty low count for 45 years of T/T driving. Have seen and eaten Moose, Elk, Mule deer, Bison and Caribou. Have seen Key deer and petted a Reindeer. I have had goats milk several times and my bacon is sliced, not Canadian(yuck).

I've hunted and eaten Whitetail, Blacktail and Mule Deer as well as both Rocky Mtn. and Roosevelt Elk. Saw a few Moose but never had a chance to hunt one.

Never do that again. Worked for a guy, deer season would come and he would tell the girls in the office he was going out to commit Bambicide for the weekend.

Shot a few Irish Elk

Hard to find these days

I think I met Bambi....she told me she was a witch.....wispered into my ear and I turned into a motel.

I have shot, processed, & eaten white tail deer. I also hit one with my truck back in '16 very shortly after I bought it new. I also enjoy watching them when given the chance.

Edited To Add: You wouldn't believe how mad my wife got when a deer ate the hydrangea bush I got her down all the way to the ground. I thought it would come back so I left it alone. A year or two later it was starting to get some size to it again & look a little pretty. It happened again. I gave up & got rid of it.
