Today is the first day hunters are allowed to shoot deer with guns. My roommate and his good buddy are taking the week off to sit in trees with their shotguns waiting for a deer to eat the corn they laid out. Now I'm not against hunting, I think that it is nessecary to maintain animal populations. I just find it interesting that there is so much preparation involved in killing a deer when hundreds are killed every day by our highway system. How can it be that these deer continually run across the "big black river" right in front of a semi truck speeding down the road at 70mph yet they get spooked in the woods if a hunter took a shower that morning? I don't know how many of you had lived near a main road but cars going fast are loud and very easy to spot. Semi trucks are even louder, larger, and have a plethora of lights. The only reasonable explaination for this phenomenon is that deer are blind and deaf but have a terrific sense of smell.
