Deer drops dead at my feet

LOL. Deer season has barely started and I bet no story tops that one this year.

This.

Do they even use urinals?

No, I think they just snort it off an old stump.

So yesterday is opening day of bow season and all the hunters are hitting the woods.
Meanwhile I'm babysitting my niece and nephew in the suburbs. (Dunwoody)
I'm standing in the driveway when I hear this loud noise like one of the kids has knocked over something in the garage and as I turn I see that the noise is rapid hoof beats on concrete. This little deer comes streaking by full tilt and boogie catches about 3 good strides when it hits the grass. It then runs into my nephews pitch back baseball training net, breaks its neck and falls dead at my feet. ( nothing I could do to help it died nearly instantly)

I hope a deer dropping dead at my feet is a good omen of things to come this season.

Oh yeah pics, It did happen.

Do you tag a deer in a case like that?

Negative, you just fire up the smoker for some tender BBQ. No tag needed!

Badass!

I think I would have eaten that one for sure. (But babysitting is tough, so I understand the call you had to make.)

Dont think tagging an accidental death is required. I hated to waste it but keeping up with a 3 year old and a 7 year old I had my hands full. I called a couple of guys but they were too busy to fool with it, so in the trash it went before the kids freaked out. My sister and her kids aren't exactly the outdoors type.

So your sister wouldn't appreciate "hey kids come out here, uncle BHJ is gonna teach y'all how to skin a dear" LOL.

Or the dog digging a hole in the yard where the procedure was done.
Most of the neighbors might not want to watch either.

This would have been a great circle of life lesson for the kids, and a really good biology lesson as well. you could have explained the function of each organ as it fell out, and you would probably never be asked to babysit again.
