Deer Hunting.

Ok - thought I'd put up something different this time...Chris if your out there - here you go man. Some constructive criticism for all the guys stalking animals out there (all of us are stalking a particular animal..lol)

The hunter in man is something that has stayed with us since we first figured out how to throw something, hit it on the head and eat it! Hunting for sport - thats cool - but whats the joy in that? You gotta eat it afterwards right?

So I figured I wanted to find out exactly what drives men like Chris here? So here to what I found out so far. (by the way Chris sharing this page with Theodore Roosevelt!). Am not one for stalking animals - always thought it was kind of a west of time personally - I mean why not just pick up that peice of meat from your nearest meat store. Ok..ok..maybe you save bucks doing it yourself...."bucks"....get it.... damn nevermind man. Anyway here an article of this - so called sport I guess.

Deer hunting is the activity or sport of pursuing deer which began as early as 7,000 BC. There are numerous types of deer throughout the world that are hunted, with the white-tailed deer being the most common in North America.

There are numerous types of deer throughout the world.

North America
The deer most sought after in North America, east of the Rocky Mountains, is the white-tailed deer. West of the Rockies, the mule deer is the dominant deer species. The most notable differences between the two, other than distribution, are the differences in ears, tail, antler shape, and body size.

The mule deer's ears are proportionally longer than the ears of a white-tailed deer, and resemble that of a mule. Mule deer have a black-tipped tail which is proportionally smaller than that of the white-tailed deer. Buck deer of both species sprout antlers; the antlers of the mule deer branch and rebranch, while white-tailed bucks have one main beam with several tines sprouting from it. White-tailed bucks are usually smaller than mule deer bucks.

In Canada and Alaska, reindeer (caribou) are hunted extensively.
