Deer Almost Takes out Governor
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,174629,00.html
I didn't even see one this past weekend. Maybe I should go setup a stand outside the captiol. Yeah, I sure security would love that.
Deer Almost Takes Out the Governor
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — He was antlered and dangerous — and he almost took out Gov. Tim Pawlenty. As Pawlenty arrived for work at the Capitol Thursday, he and his entourage heard shattering glass and then saw a big buck charge past about five feet from them. The deer broke two windows at the Capitol before bounding off.
The state's deer hunting season officially opens Saturday, and Pawlenty is headed to the northwestern Minnesota city of Perham for his annual kickoff event.
Pawlenty said the parking lot incident was a good omen.
"We could have had the governor's deer opener right here at the Capitol," Pawlenty said. "If that's any indication, the deer hunting is going to go well this year."
State natural resources officials say the urban deer herd is much larger than usual this year. Ramsey County, which includes St. Paul, is considering hiring sharp shooters to thin the deer population along freeways and other well-traveled areas.
It's mating season for deer, when rutting bucks sometimes charge their own reflections in windows.
