Deer.... Stupid Question?????
Well, you yanks might think it's stupid...
But I hear about deer in America and I wonder, are they native animals to North America or are they an introduced species???  We have deer here too but they are defineatly introduced. Never were here till 100 years ago when they were brought in for venison, some escaped and now they are dotted around in the mountains. I've never seen one wild though. They are fairly scarce.

Native species. The screwed up thing is that there are more now than there were 400 years ago. No real predators with the exception of hunters. Coyotes eat the little ones sometimes.
I shot one at close range with a BB gun 2 nights ago (enough pumps to kill a squirrel) and it whirrled around, bucked a little, looked at me and then went back to eating my yard. Dogs have even given up on them.

There are a lot of them in some areas of the country. Here in Minnesota it's not uncommon to see them when driving through the country in the evening. Last month I was drove across Wisconsin, and it seemed like every five miles or so there was another dead deer laying on the side of the road.

Here in New Jersey their like vermin, they are everywhere, they eat everything, their rotting corpses are all over the roadsides. Around here the deer are a real problem.

They are all over DC (no hunting of course) and they have a free pass.

12 months ago I came perilously close to hitting about 6 of them as I was driving my Grand Prix. Man I had all anchors out and had the old girl standing on its nose. Just managed to pull up in time.  Make bloody good eating though. I've tried venison and I'd eat Kangaroo EVERY TIME in preference. Anyway, thanks for the education

We have that too, but I think participation is low. Real problem is that so many of the hunters became so bad about getting wasted & trashing property, shooting critters & things they should not that nobody will let them hunt on their property anymore. Ian, I have often thought that we could take a lesson from down under and adapt our vehicles with some of the equipment like I have seen on rigs down under. The tenderloin & sausage as Mike says are the only good parts though I have eaten many a hind quarter that was good.

Texas Drivers License = TX Hunting License
Wife just got back her '06 GXP Grand Prix. Over $12,000.00 repair bill. The deer lost but I guess its all relative. Can't speak highly enough for OnStar. She was out in the middle of Nowhere West Texas when the deer ran out in front of her. Air bags deployed. Before she could pull over to the side of the road, OnStar was calling and offering assistance. They sent 1st responders via GPS coordinates. She said she felt in total control thanks to the good brakes and suspension. Her and passenger had very minor injuries mostly from the airbags. The car and driver are good as new.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
