HMS Defiant: UH OH

UH OH

I hope they don't call the cops in to help this poor unfortunate deer. That always ends with the police standing over someone who has just been shot 22 times for her own protection.

Maybe if it was a veteran deer, the park police could find her. Either way, I suspect it will end very badly for the little deer.

U P D A T E:
I was wrong. Good news. Deer was treated and released today.

lotta joy said...: This is atrocious. If you can't bring another life down with one shot, then you've no business shooting. I hope he prided himself enough to put his initials or name on that arrow.; November 6, 2013 at 8:47 PM
HMS Defiant said...: I doubt the hunter did anything like that but I totally agree with you. If you cannot kill an animal with one shot then you have no business hunting. Unfortunately, there's a lot of hunters out there who just shoot at animals and make no pretense at tracking down what they've shot at.; November 6, 2013 at 10:37 PM

HMS Defiant said...: Sadly no. This was not photoshop. My uncle had a similar deer with an arrow it that he found dead one morning in his back yard in Carlisle. The hunter never showed up and it was clear that the deer had lived for many hours after being wounded. This happened in the next township to Picatinny but we never saw anything like this.; November 8, 2013 at 3:53 PM

Truth: Clear and Simple

“Equity” means “ruining everything but pretending it’s for fairness.”

I seek no better warrant than my own conscience.

Nothing is achieved before it is thoroughly attempted.

Nemo me impune lacessit

I stick to wholly natural foods like croissants and cream puffs, and chocolate eclairs, and french toast with slathers of butter and maple syrup. Natural. That’s how I am.

What beauty is, I know not, though it adheres to many things.

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.

I knew from elementary school that I would live to see the first man land on the moon. I did not expect to see the last one.

A Great Victory

“You may triumph on the fields of Pelennor for a day, but against the Power that has now arisen there is no victory!“

When you think about it, the Wise in conclave, decided that the thing to do after this great but meaningless victory was to advance deep into enemy territory and fight a battle that they knew they could not win.

Using a 1955 World Atlas they found in a ruin, islamic terrorists selected the leading industrial city in America on which to target their wrath and their first atomic weapon. They picked Detroit.

“118 years from the first flight of fixed wing aircraft to flying helicopters on another world. Very impressive achievement of the West. Recall that Egypt's hydraulic civilization lasted virtually unchanged for over 4000 years and they were the leading light of civilization for most of that time.
