So, I go outside my son's school the other day, and MUCH to my surprise (shock & horror!), I walked right upon this scene! Now, talk about The Murder Hour! WOE! Very strange, indeed! For as long as I have lived here, in the Northeast, it's been a joke of my family's to ask one another during hunting season (which is upon us), "Didjah getchah deah?", in our best New England speak. Hunters, and there's no shortage, will seriously ask one another if they "got their deer". Well, someone did. And it's a trophy worth putting in the trunk and driving around town with, eh? I don't get it. I also don't get hanging them up in trees in front of your house to let them drain, couldn't this be done in the privacy of your barn or other outbuilding?
Why in the dooryard? I suppose it's the same reason one would trunk it, and drive it far and wide! "See! I got my deah!" Face it, it's gross! And with VERY few exceptions, WE don't want to see the bloody carcasses displayed in the trunks of cars, hanging in the trees, or lying about willynilly on a parking lot! Stop it.
Enough said?

I'm not sure I can even come up with words to formulate a decent comment. Stunned. That sums it up nicely. And I didn't even see it firsthand! Like a deah in the headlights, I am.
ewwwww...ewwwwwwww...ewwwwwwwwwww!
Please, please, PLEASE post something else!!! It's hard looking at this poor dead deer (Bambi's mother, no doubt) day after day after day. Ick. Yuck. Surely someone in Maine has a weird Christmas decoration you could snap and post. I'll go through my old Maine pics and see if I have anything I can send for posting....
poor dear dead deer...
WELL, SOMEONE'S GOTTA DO IT! IT JUST WILL NOT BE ME. HOPEFULLY, THE MEAT IS CONSUMED AND THERE ARE FEWER DEER THROWING THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF CARS OR IS IT IN CARS?
PEACE,
MARTY
