    You can’t pay me enough to get near deer unarmed.

    They look cute, sometimes act cute, but they can and will fuck you up six ways to Sunday, and then when they’re done they’ll spit on you as an insult to your grandmother.

    Just depends on which side of the bed they fell out of this morning. Or if they’ve contracted chronic wasting disease.

    I don’t understand how someone can be so fucking stupid to think they just come off like that. Have they never seen deer knocking antlers? They’re pretty well attached until they decide not to be.
