It looks like deer are on everyone’s minds lately. Open Season, SONY’s latest animation-adventure featuring the voices of Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence opened at number one in the box office this weekend.
Meanwhile, residents of Bucks County Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Game Commission are kicking around the idea of legalizing the use of bait in deer hunting in light of problems caused by a growing deer population.
In Iowa, a paradox of sorts – the DesMoines Register reports that hunters are finding fewer deer in Iowa, while the city of Davenport is hosting its first urban deer hunt.
And our urban-dwelling British friends are dealing with a population explosion of deer – pool swimming, banana eating, three-legged deer, no less. Says a rescue official: “They are very scattish animals and don’t really think. They do everything by instinct and just go where the food is.”
