We have an overpopulation problem with humans Kas.

I'll go grab the gun...

I've got a few more weeks to wait for Deer Season here in Pa. Hopefully i'll have a bit more time to get out there this year than i did last year. Being a college student makes getting out in the woods a pain in the ass.

I detest sitting in a tree waiting for some dumb deer to walk in front of me, I'm glad I got one right away.


Drayson, we don't have an overpopulation problem, we have an infrastructure problem.

Who doesn't have an overpopulation problem? The deer, or the humans? Either way its bullshit.

Overpopulation? I agree.

If only it were that easy.

But unlike the deer i can't smell him coming a quarter mile away, i can't run 30 miles an hour, and i can't wait forever in freezing cold temps without freezing my ass off.

And besides, i seldom sit in a tree stand. I prefer to track and stalk. Its much more fun, and necessary when no game is moving.

I don't know when Deer Season is here in Florida, but man, talk about infestations, as if Raccoons, and Possums weren't enough, now we are seriously being overrun by rabbits. Every night on the way home from the club, I see maybe a hundred rabbits running across the road, or biting into the Oranges that fall from the trees. It's wild.


I remember a couple of months back having this awful smell in my kitchen. There was a large amount of flies, too, which was annoying. I finally opened a cabinet to clean it out, and inside was this decaying possum corpse. Maggots and everything. It took a month or so to get rid of the smell.

That wasn't fun.

You don't check your cabinet often, do you Silus.

A few experienced friends of mine are of the opinion that if you're careful, and don't make too much noise, it's all chance on whether or not a deer will grace you with its presence.

On the other hand, I have other friends who are positive that the more scent killer you spray onto your suit, the better your chances are.

We all got deer the first weekend. I was on foot, they did the sitting thing.
