You are right. Them wondering coyotes are the worst kind.
They keep a feller up all night saying "To be or not to be, that is the question" and quoting Schopenhauer and Fichte.

Which Ronald McDonald HAPPY MEAL are you going to order tonight..?
HM #1...?   or maybe HM #2...?
I hear that McD might be coming out with a HM #3 pretty soon..!
Are you pretty excited to hear about that Little Buckeroo...?

You don't drop them where you feed them, do you?

Odds are he wants to to believe he does.
Again, if hunters do not hunt deer, then the alternative is to restock the area with natural predators who will kill and eat the excess game. Do any of you see a better alternative?

Introducing predators is a bad idea, because there is no species that will only attack and kill deer, but not small humans, dogs and other pets.   Yes, we need hunters to hunt and kill deer.  Hopefully, they enjoy the meat gained from their hunting.   The only other alternative is to 1) pass draconian laws that punnish those who unnaturally provide food for deer (i.e. deer-corn feeders), then 2) allow the deer to die off naturally from starvation and disease.  It would be better for all if people would just hunt them.

Well,  small humans should learn how to hunt. But the deer population will not all die off. They will multiply and some streets and roads will be transformed into Dodge 'em. Do what you want. Deer are not a problem in Miami. We do have possums and raccoons.
If someone wants to lure deer into a target area to shoot them, that is fine with me, so long as I am not in range.

Mountain lions and panthers?  No thanks, I don't care what happens to the deer population enough to want them around.  There's only so much venison a man can eat, though.  What needs to happen is a relaxing of hunting restrictions.  Allow an open hunting season without tags and permits for a couple of weeks, especially if hunting on your own land.

The sheetmetal cylinder was uncurled....it took a lot of force to form that cylinder in the first place..!   
The Legend that every Shop Teacher in the USA told the class was how an oxygen bottle was knocked over [because it wasn't securely fastened to the wall] and the bottle  didn't have the protective cap screwed into place...so the valve was broken off when the bottle crashed to the floor.
So when this happened  the bottle took of like a Minute  Man Missile and shot through all the cinder block walls of the entire school building lengthwise killing dozens of students in it's path......

Could be.  But, we have plenty of coyotes around these parts, not many true wolves though.  Coyotes are a bit puny and might not look upon mature deer as a meal. You're right about dogs - overfed pets that have lost their killer instinct.  Heck, you could say that about most people too.

She was thinking about it...but someone in the other vehicle called the authorities and they said now that it's been report they couldn't shoot it.


But I agree with you...just shoot the poor animal.

You'd have to dispose of the body  so that it doesn't infect other animals.

Absolutely...maybe that's why the authorities didn't want those people to shoot it. Probably a good idea to let the authorities dispose of it.

After thinking this through, you are probably right.  If it was on my property I would have definitely shot it and probably incinerated it before burying any remains. I've got a bunch of boxes and wood piling up to burn anyway.

We have deer all over the neighborhood and turkey within blocks of my place.   

Here's a keeper...

No small mouth there! I take it that's a muskie? Some folks fish for them all their lives and never catch one (at least they did mid-last century).

That sure is a big 'ol fish - nice catch.  I'd fish if I could ever just get over the tast of fish.  After years of fishing and eating fish as a kid, I finely resolved that I simply dislike the taste of fish.  No use in killing what you won't eat!

Have you tried blackening?

I've had blackened fish.  Most fish, I wouldn't touch.  Blackened Dolphin (refuse to call it Mahi) can be ok, if its fresh. Still, even that has a slight "fishy" taste.  The bottom line is that I really love eating a good steak.  Fish costs about the same price as a good steak.  So, what's the point choking down a piece of fish that might not make me gag over a slab of juicy steak that makes me feel like I'm in heaven while I'm chewing it?

As for cooking fish in the house - NO, ITS FORBIDDEN!  No stinky fish in the house!!!

Or shoot it...THEN call the authorities.   They could be aware that their might be more infected animals. That could help protect yer family and pets.

Authorities have a way of telling you that what you did was wrong.  They are never actually an authority on anything - just bureaucrats looking for someone to jack around for not following their rules.  I'd rather have a rabid animal on my land than nosy bureaucrats.
