...This one is only 300 volts, not enough to cause a human with dry hands a problem, but on a wet nose... YIKES!

If they do not come with warning labels you will need to print some of these to apply to the deer shock repellents.

Dig this. I just heard on the local NY TV News that a man was arrested and locked-up on Staten Island for shooting a squirrel with an arrow. (That must have been some abusive squirrel!) Can we extrapolate from that what the reaction might be if I start beating-up deer? Maybe it would be a good idea to ask 2railJon (if I recall, he offered, sometime ago) to come here and blast away (in suburbia, though?)

At least I do not have the "Homies" and the "Hoodies" coming thru my deck's sliding-glass door. Yet. But at least they do not eat the shrubbery!
BTW, I went to the local police dept. this week to inquire about getting a gun license for a gun I don't have yet. Just to keep up to date.

Eat the evidence.

How did it go? Your application is now in the public record you know. I looked it up... I suppose this is suitable for publication in "Seen in Print."

Just the first few lines give me a clue... you are a shoe-in to be accepted.

You will need a Deer Kill Permit also. First step is to declare where you will be killing all those deer.

Cute.
Here in NJ we don't have meat processors that I am aware of to handle the carcass, and I sure can't picture myself heaving the body up into the back of my ML to get it to one (besides, don't you have to de-ball [if it's a male] the thing right away? Not going to happen.) So, maybe I should contact the local Boy Scouts to render and butcher the whole thing, right in the traffic-facing sideyard, or in the driveway? They must have a Merit Badge for such an in-the-forest wildlife-type activity, eh? That ought to add remarkably to my image at the parish I attend, as well as at City Hall.

Amazing, Wayne, how you managed to fill-out that application so accurately, just like real!

When inquiring about the permit, I voiced the opinion, at the local police detectives' bureau, that it might be a good idea if they sold the guns as well as issued the licenses, too, so they could keep a close record of all the gunslingers in the area. They were a bit dubious, but did recommend where I might go to buy a gun. Nice. To be continued. I think.

To the world at-large, i.e. those who are paying attention here:
Picture attendance at a party including some of the real characters who have been replying lately here (you know who they are, and they KNOW who they are). Now, THAT would be a rocking good time! Face-to-face, all these characters! Wow! It boggles the mind. WE wouldn't even need booze -the personalities interacting would be the buzz/high.

AND that would include Tramp doing an artwork and Sarge writing a poem to memorialize the whole shebang!

Considering the subject the above several posts are much funnier than I would have expected.
In fact LMAO.

I can. Don't do it. When a deer dies thousands of fleas, ticks and other things jump or drop off the carcass. You do not want to infest your ML with these creatures.

You should field dress the deer immediately anyway, so the vermin get removed with the skin, the internal organs get removed before they rot (bacterial rot starts almost immediately upon death, bloating the animal and ruining the meat) and blood gets drained.

Draining the blood helps keep the meat from tasting "gamey."

Also, draining the blood is particularly important if you are Jewish or Christian.

Genesis 9:4 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
4 Only, you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

Acts 15:29New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
29 that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”

Exactly.

But, save the blood for making venison blood sausage along with some of that organ meat!

Pickled venison heart. Yummy.

Quite the gaggle of carnivors, we have here.

Omnivores, actually.

Sort of like this?
