DEER TURNING THE TABLES ON TROPHY HUNTERS

     Has it occurred to anyone that the reason there are no more trophy deer in the state of Maine is because you've shot them all? As usual, the blame is placed squarely on the predators i.e. the hated coyote, when the predator-in-chief is Boobus Americanus a.k.a. demented hunters.

     Throughout the history of mankind, hunting was the means to obtain food to get families through the long cold winter.  Pursued in this manner, hunting culled the weakest individuals amongst the deer just as the coyote has always done. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand Darwin. Survival of the fittest has always worked if only left alone to do so. But then enter the trophy hunter. Going against nature he/she culls the herd by shooting the fittest and letting the weaker specimens reproduce.  So, if you're trying to figure out what happened to all those trophy deer, just look on your wall.

     P.S. Don't tell anyone, but there are a few magnificent specimens left. BUT THEY ARE ARMED WITH SHOTGUNS, RIFLES AND AK-47s. They are waiting in ambush to turn the tables on the mentally-challenged trophy hunters. And these deer have access to the very best taxidermists in the state.
