Me vs. Deer
Me - 0
Deer - 1
I thought I was pretty smart the day I ripped up my
carrots and put them in buckets five feet from our door. The
deer don't usually come that close; screeching people fly out of that door. So I thought my carrots were safe.
How wrong I was.
Those pesky carrot-eaters went up, bold as brass, and ate the tops off those carrots! Less than five feet from the house!
But I've got their number. My cousin has hated deer ever since one totaled his car last winter. I told him he could have them if he came to get them. The last time they ate my carrots he rhapsodized about how he'd like to get an
uzi machine gun. This is the cousin who rolls down his car windows and yells 'VENISON!' at any deer he sees. Perfect carrot protector, yes?
