plight of the Southern Deer
 
In a recently released study found in the new England Journal of Medicine their seems to be a link between illiteracy and the venison that southerners are eating.
It actually goes way back to the days when North America had very little humanoid activity. The deer in what is now florida were forced there over time by the superior dominant northern deer. THey have lived there in a less than ideal environment for thousands of years. This is why the key deer are so small. And the further NORTH you go in the satate the deer get bigger and more educated. But do to the poor quality of life and the horrible ecosystem even the Northern most Floridian deer are subsistant at best.
THis long term deffinciency in diet and environment has caused the deer to become very unintelligent and is creating a further downward spiral as they have become so dumb they can do no more than eat enough food not to starve.
You may say this is not a big deal, but scientists beg to differ. As you move north through our country you find that the education systems and literacy rates climb on the way. This is not coincedence. Recent studies have proven that southerners who eat unitelligent deer are being dumbed down by the Venison.
Researchers point to a tiny microbial deffinciency called a PION. These are more prevelant in the South and have proven to numb ones mind upon ingestion. According to the researchers the only treatment for this is to stop shooting inferior deer and move as far north as you can.
THere was however a bright lining for those of you in the midwest. WIth the superior genetics of Midwestern deer to that of their southern neighbors and there prominant physical stature. It seems that the deer that run the farmland of the midwest are considered immune to PIONS and will simply stand there and FLEX, No emotion , No Sound Just flex and the PIONS will go back to FLorida.

THis is a very serious matter and is a fact. I suggest that Floridians and other southerners who still have the capacity for logical thought move while you can!

CWD originated out west! But good try! Texas is a fine example of smart deer. They stay where only rich poeple can afford to shoot them and they keep there bodies small so they can hide behind the mesquite. That is a smart deer.

From what I've seen of TWDD's stuff, it's usually rants about Southern deer being of higher quality than Northern deer. They are not a mean-spirited attacks calling Northerners illiterates. And, his spelling, grammar and punctuation are as bad, or worse, than yours.

Sorry... I only eat Texas Deer. Anyone who thinks that Texas Deer are inferior doesn't have a rotting brain. They have a rotted one. ;)

I go to a lot of different hunting forums. I see an excessive number of posts, on all of them,that have the same problems with spelling and grammar. Unfortunately, everyone else can see it, too.

The problem is far more prevalent in hunting forums than in the automotive enthusiast forums or the martial arts forums that I also frequent.

Thank you for your kind words. I will try harder to keep up a good image in future typing endevors. Although I did not make an effort to type grammatically correct, I did try to address a larger problem than punctuation. If for some reason this post was taken as gospel, I apologize for not conveying my sarcasm in a clear enough manner. I am sitting here wondering why you are worried about punctuation in a post while people are spouting racist rhetoric amidst our forums. Refer to the post regarding Bigfoot in the Big Game Forum. A member of our community had the audacity to say that the person could have mistaken black people running through the woods for a group of Bigfoot. However, this member didn’t use the term “black people”. Top Dawg and those of you who giggle at his malicious yet discrete attacks on northerners and our “litter”, “Disease”, and “ugly women” are not harmless or jovial. They are malcontent rubbish and the reason I wrote this post to begin with. I really wanted to see how quickly the hypocrisy would spew when the tables were turned. It didn’t take as long as I thought.
I commend you for your concern over the well being of the hunting community. However, that should be the least of your worries when the stereotypical image of a hunter isn’t that of illiteracy but violence and racism. We are portrayed as bigoted, dip spitting, truck driving rednecks.
I guess it has been a while since I have needed to concentrate on grammar. In fact it has been roughly 4 years since I graduated from college with honors. I too am guilty of not portraying that image of hunters who are educated. For that, I apologize and promise to make a conscious effort to better the image of hunters through using larger vocabulary and proper punctuation.
I am almost stunned that people are seriously arguing the quality of southern deer with me. The deeper issues are staring you in the face and you cant see through the sarcasm to save yourself.

My apologies if I came off too harshly. I usually skip TWDD's posts, so I'm not familiar with those that may include personal attacks, as opposed to the usual "our deer are better than yours, nyeah nyeah nyeah..."

I also haven't seen the Bigfoot post. I've never really focused on the perception of hunters as racists before, although I have noticed that propensity in a couple of the guys on the lease I hunt. The image I've always heard, obviouslyuntrue,is that we are just a bunch beer swilling dumb rednecks...

Texas has some great deer. The only problem is they don't have very good mass, unless they are raised in a 20 by 20 pen. Bottom line is northern deer are larger than southern deer. There are more deer in the south than in the north. A southern deer is just as wary as a northern deer, unless they were raised in a 20 by 20 pen. Southern deer taste just as good as northern deer, unless they were raised in a 20 by 20 pen, then they are better. I love chasing the elusive southern White-tailed deer, even if I'm just an illiterate southern redneck. Guess what B&C, there are some really great literate people down here in the south that love to hunt deer ethically and legally. Come on back home and find out.

superstrutter 05-10-2006 09:45 AM

RE: plight of the Southern Deer
 
Come on ipscshooter, you know as well as everyone else does, that a wild free ranging Texas deer is not going to be that massive. These so called high or low fence deer are fed by humans. That is why they are larger. How many ranches let their deer live strictly off the native forage? If they did this they would go broke. If they did this then Texas deer would have some of the most puny racks in the country. Texas deer hunting is all about money. Maybe not all of it but most of it is. I have nothing against Texas deer or Texas deer hunters. It's just that most of Texas caters to high paying clients who want to put an easy trophy on the wall. There is a whole lot more to deer hunting than this. And remember, I'm not pointing a finger at all Texas deer hunters or landowners. I was just being a little sarcastic about the 20 by 20 pen. I hope you don't take all of this the wrong way.

ipscshooter 05-10-2006 10:16 AM

RE: plight of the Southern Deer
 
Are you familiar with the native forage in Texas? Is there something inherently wrong with supplemental feeding? Are you suggesting that Texas is the only place that does it? Where I hunt, the "native forage" consists of cactus and mesquite and a scattering of live oaks. Drought conditions for the last two years have really hurt things bad. A little supplemental feeding helps the deer stay healthy. They don't need it in places like Illinois or Nebraska where the entire state is planted in soybeans, corn and wheat.

superstrutter 05-10-2006 10:57 AM

RE: plight of the Southern Deer
 
So you are agreeing with me. Without help Texas deer are puny. I didn't say there is anything wrong with supplemental feeding, but in most of Texas it's not supplemental, it's close to 100% of their diet. The largest deer in Texas are on high paying take what you want ranches. I do understand there is not as much natural vegetation in most of Texas as there is in just about any other state. Your just not going to see very many good racks outside of these ranches. If the ranches were not there, there would still be deer, right? These deer would be small with below average racks. I'm not about to pay thousands of dollars to be asked which one do you want to shoot. That is what most of Texas is all about. I know all states offer hunts like that, but Texas is the king of the cater to the rich hunts. I guess they got to do what they got to do.

ipscshooter 05-10-2006 11:43 AM

RE: plight of the Southern Deer
 
You really can't blame the ranchers. They make almost as much money from their hunting operations as they do raising cattle.

I really don't know whether supplemental feeding impacts on antler development as much as increasing the carrying capacity of the land.From what I've heard, "deer corn" doesn't really have a huge nutritionalimpact. Planting food plots with certain types of forbs andother plants does have big impact, but, how is that any different than deer browsing in the soybean fields of Illinois? That's not natural forageeither.The ranch I hunt costs under $2500 per year each for about 10 hunters, on 1800 acres, with limits of 3 bucks and 4 does per lease slot. I don't think that's really a "caters only to the rich" lease. Most of the guys are blue collar. And I think that price is fairly representative of the norm. Obviously there are higher priced leases in areas of the state (i.e. South Texas) where the deer are quite a lot larger.

Dude, it's way more than just typos. You are trying to call Southerners illiterates; yet, you're a borderline illiterate yourself. If you want to insult Southerners, at least proofread your stuff... Here is a quick rehash of your little essay. Corrections and comments are in brackets.


ORIGINAL: B&C Wanna B

In a recently released study found in the new [New]England Journal of Medicine[,] their [there] seems to be a link between illiteracy and the venison that southerners [Southerners] are eating.
It actually goes way back to the days when North America had very little humanoid activity. The deer in what is now florida [Florida] were forced there over time by the superior[,] dominant northern deer. THey[They] have lived there in a less than ideal environment for thousands of years. This is why the key deer are so small. And[,] the furtherNORTH you go in the satate[state,] the deer get bigger and more educated.[For structural reasons, the second half of this sentence should read "the bigger and more educated the deer get."] But[,] do [due]to the poor quality of life and the horrible ecosystem[,] even the Northern most [Northernmost]Floridian deer are subsistant [subsistent]at best.
THis [This] long term deffinciency [deficiency] in diet and environment has caused the deer to become very unintelligent and is creating a further downward spiral as they have become so dumb they can do no more than eat enough food not to starve.
You may say this is not a big deal, but[,] scientists beg to differ. As you move north through our country[,] you find that the education systems and literacy rates climb on the way. This is not coincedence [coincidence]. Recent studies have proven that southerners [Southerners]who eat unitelligent deer are being dumbed down by the Venison [venison].
Researchers point to a tiny microbial deffinciency [deficiency (again...so you can't claim typo)] called a PION [do you mean peon?]. [If there are microbes called peons in the venison, why is this a microbial deficiency? A deficiency would mean that these microbes are missing. Or are you asserting that there are more peons in the North?] These are more prevelant [prevalent] in the South [hmmm... apparently you were trying to say there are more in the South...]and have proven to numb ones [one's] mind upon ingestion. According to the researchers[,] the only treatment for this is to stop shooting inferior deer and move as far north as you can.
THere [There] was[,] however[,] a bright lining for those of you in the midwest [Midwest]. WIth [With]the superior genetics of Midwestern deer to that of their southern neighbors and there [their] prominant [prominent]physical stature. [sentence fragment] It seems that the deer that run the farmland of the midwest [Midwest]are considered immune to PIONS [peons] and will simply stand there and FLEX, No emotion , No Sound Just flex and the PIONS [peons]will go back to FLorida [Florida].[What kind of sentence is this? There must be some punctuation missing.]

THis [This] is a very serious matter and is a fact. I suggest that Floridians[,] and other southerners [Southerners] who still have the capacity for logical thought[,] move while you can!
Southern boys don't take kindly to poorly crafted insults from New Yorkers. It kind ofreminds me of my favorite TV commercial of all time... A group of cowboys are sitting around the campfire at dinner time, and the picante sauce obviously tastes like crap. One of them asks "Where was this stuff made." Another looks at the jar and says "It was made in New York City." The others, in unison,exclaim "NewYork City?" One of them then adds:"Get a rope." I don't think the cook was destined to have a pleasant evening...
DITTO get a proof reader or spell check!!! It appears the pot is calling the kettle black in this thread.

Okay ipscshooter, there is a differencebetween a pay out your butt shoot that deer ifyou like him ranch and a few guys getting together and leasing a place. I would consider doing that myself. In fact I went turkey hunting on a lease in Texaslast year. Don't get me wrong, I think Texas is one of the neatest places to hunt. I just don't like the idea of these high paying ranches, but I do understand ranchers wanting to earn extra money. Many of the deer hunting videos are on these ranches, not just in Texas, and it is a joke. Where is your lease located? What is the quality of your deer, truthfully?

RE: plight of the Southern Deer
 
The lease I've been hunting is in the Texas Hill Country, not too far from Fredericksburg,west of Austin, north of San Antonio. The deer tend not to get much past 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years old, as I don't think the neighbors have management in mind, other than an "if it's brown, it's down" policy. We try not to take anything less than 3 1/2 years old. We'd like to get them older, but we then tend to lose them to the neighbors Bucks last year averaged about 150 lbs. The biggest was about 180ish. Antler size was pretty weak last year because of the drought. In good years, we get bucks in the 130-140 class. Does generally run around 100 lbs. Hill Country deer are quite a bit smaller, but more numerous, than deer in other parts of the state.

Someone sent me a PM and asked me, "TDWW, do I sense some animousity toward you from some of these Yankee hunters on the board?"

I honestly do not think it is animosity. I think all the guys on theboard are all quite intelligent and they certainly are good conservatives. It is not necessarily jealousy but I think it is whimsical fascination.

I have long said that we all are born with certain innate God-Given talents. How we use those talents, or don't use them, is what is important. I was born with the ability to pursue whitetail deer and to have the vision of growth and development of the overall herd as well as the ability to see things better than anyone and, more importantly, to see things that others miss. That is why I am able to analyzethings so well and understand wildlife, people who pursue wildlife, events that may or may not have an effect on the presence of the wildlife management movement, and trends to look for. I think that is where some feel something close to jealousy but I would not use that word.

The guys on theboard may be Yanks, but mostare good guys.

Texas produces as many B&C bucks as any state in the country. But thats not to say Northern deer don't contribute.......Northern deer have contributed plenty........like CWD.
False! Texas produces fewer B&C bucks than Illinois, Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin. Possibly one or two more states also produce more B&C bucks than Texas as well.

CWD will be headed your way as well, wait and see.

Take a look at these from 2005-2006. http://www.loscazadores.com/contest/leaderboard.html There are at least 51 bucks over 180" on that page.[/align]
Thank you, I was off on my states a bit, but I knew that Texas did not produce as many B&C bucks as any state in the country!

Yes, but... the chart says only 15 from Texas. B&C minimum is 170 and I posted a site that lists over fifty 180 class bucks from that year entered in one of a half dozen or more big buck contests. You know there were at least as many 170 class bucks as there were 180 and up. And, you know that not everyone with a big buck entered it in a contest or tried to enter it in B&C. So, how good, really, is that chart???

Don't forget to mention your god given ability to show no humility. Also, the god talent to dawn a cut off flannel and flex at kids because their music makes you uncomfortable. I think its closer to animosity than jealousy. Can we get any proff of this almost majestic talent you possess. Other than the ability to create discontent, I find you to be conceited and disrespectful. The difference between me and some of the others, is that I know you area fake. Kids who were liars tend to take that talent and hold it very close because it gives them security. Obviously you are too comfortable with untruths. But hey at least you have become a side show. Hope you like the negative attention!

RE: plight of the Southern Deer
 

So you are agreeing with me. Without help Texas deer are puny.
I bowhunt up in Illinois every year and yes the deer up there do have excellent genes for growing big racks. However, the entire state ispractically one giant corn/soybean field also. A fact that contributes heavily to both body and antler size in their deer. Hate to bust your bubble but corn and soybeansaren't exactly native browse. They are planted by man. So those deer are up there are getting a nice supplemental feeding from men also. Just like the deer in Texas.
