a female pest if you live in New Jersey. There can't be any green vegetation left in that state by now.
If the guy who invented the crossbow was, years later, shot by someone using a crossbow, would he be thinking "well, I invented the thing, I shouldn't be upset about this"? No, he'd be screaming "Ow! You shot me in the ass you cock!"
Probably. Although, if I find out that you're using my forgiving nature to get away with stuff... I'll probably forgive you for that too. Dammit, I should have thought this through a little more before full implementation.
Far be it from me to judge (that's your job) but maybe your advisers are a bunch of "yes men" just telling you what you want to hear. The only angels worth their salt jumped ship and joined Satan - notice how his plans seem to come to fruition easier? Satan's win/loss record blows yours away, and he's a crowd favorite to add fuel to the fire (no pun intended). Don't smite me, I'm just calling it as I see it.
I am almost certain that Dayton was sent by the Overgod to test My faith and patience. Did I say Overgod? Don't worry about that, it doesn't concern any of you. There's no direct evidence that such a being even exists. Describing the social structure of divine beings to humans is a bit like Canadian geese describing the nuances of formation flying to a colony of ants. The ants wouldn't understand, and the geese are too busy pooping in fountains to bother. Still, most of this doesn't apply. The best way I can describe my relationship with Satan is "creative differences," but that's not exactly a great description. Although, describing Archangel Michael as a "yes man" is actually a perfect description. That guy has his nose so far up my ass that I think the turd I left in the Red Room fountain might actually be our offspring. Which, divine reproduction is very complicated.
Speaking of "divine reproduction" is it true (snopes dot com is silent on the matter) that divine reproduction can involve 9-1/2 different genders? If so, that could be hard to manage. And more on divine reproduction.....is this character the fruit (no pun intended) of your loins? Well played, you really broke the mold!
Divine reproduction is not sexual, and the concept of "gender" does not apply. Sexual reproduction is involved in the creation of demigods, but that isn't something I've done. No. Unlike the Overgod, the Super Devil is very, very real.
I used to be all caring and sympathetic about white tail deer. But several incidents changed my mind. The first year I was teaching my wife ran over the carcass of an enormous buck that had been laying in the road for a couple of days. It was on the highway that I took to the school where I had my first teaching and coaching job. She was coming home from one of my games and hit it squarely. It was dark, she had taken a wrong turn and was in a hurry. Ripped the entire tread off the front right tire. Cost me nearly 100 dollars to replace. It's a miracle it didn't cause her to wreck.
Funny and similar story - one of my army buds was traveling from Texas to Alabama. He stopped off at a Mississippi casino to gamble, and won 400 dollars. He gets in his truck and a couple of hours later hits a deer. Total damage to the truck.....400 dollars. Total "dick move" by that deer. But I respect their speed and toughness. These days I just don't consider them "wild animals" like I do elk and cougars and caribou and so forth simply because they are so common these days and have nothing to do with "the wilderness".
Well, when I was growing up in the 1970s, deer were so rare that when you saw one everyone ran to see it. It was like seeing a meteor or a comet. But thanks to the efforts of the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission to reestablish large numbers of white tail deer in order to profit off them through hunting permits within about 5 years deer were all over the damn place. Literally like mice.
Same thing here in Georgia (and many states). whitetail are extremely adaptable so they thrive from Canada down into Mexico. Wet, dry, hot, cold, suburbs, wilderness, it makes no difference. Also they take over (displace) mule deer out west because mule deer are not tolerant to human encroachment/urban sprawl but whitetails aren't bothered by it.
When food is readily available white tail does frequently give birth to twins or even triplets. And when a fawn loses its mother, other does often "adopt" orphans as their own.
Twins are the rule where I hunt, but coyote predation whittles the deer population down fast. True though adult does are always alert to orphaned fawns - you can buy "fawn in distress" calls to lure does in during the early season. I don't use one because it can backfire if you bow-hunt like I do - if the doe hears the call it starts trying to figure out exactly where it came from, and what the actual trouble is. Worst case the does are in a group and now you have several sets of eyes, ears, and noses surrounding you. It's hard enough moving to draw back your bow undetected when the deer have no idea something suspicious might be going on - having them on edge guarantees you will get caught moving. Granted "cold blowing" when does are far away just to get them into the general area works sometimes, but it's still a risky move. I will just stick to a basic ambush in a high-traffic area come September.
It should be noted that young fawns are supposedly one of the easiest wild animals to tame in the world. Supposedly all you have to do is pick one up and carry it a short distance, put it down and it will then follow you. But a word of caution. A domesticated buck which grows up with no fear of humans becomes hideously dangerous when grown. I remember when a woman who cared for a number of deer at her ranch. She got between a buck and some does during the rut and the buck gored her viciously. Even when several men went into the enclosure to drag her out the buck pursued and continued to gouge huge gashes in her back and buttocks. When a news photographer came to make some pictures the buck lunged at the fence and threatened the guy. guide my sleigh tonight my ass.......
some people forget that "the rut" is a very powerful thing. Even among humans, when is a young man (or even older sometimes) the most stupid, out-of-control and vulnerable to dangerous decisions? When he's got sex on his mind! Imagine if every 20 year old man couldn't have sex for the entire year, except for a one-month period. Oh and imagine his testosterone jumps off the scale during this month. Basically for a month every buck is either fighting other bucks or chasing/fucking does. They lose all fear and act like they don't have a brain and are very unpredictable and aggressive.
I never had that problem. Of course I had no physical contact with sexually available women when I was twenty years old. Or much in the way of conversation for that matter.
Luckily bucks don't have to waste time with that - all the does are horny so as a buck all you have to do is keep kicking the shit out of all the other competing bucks and you get all the tail you want. Keep in mind if you lock antlers when fighting and can't get them apart you both die of thirst and hunger or drown in the water if that's where you are fighting. Or you can get your testicles ripped off by antlers & hooves. Or fatally impaled by antlers. Or see your own reflection in a window and try to fight yourself, and crash through the window and fatally injure yourself. That said you can just yield to the other buck and just walk away, but then you don't get to fuck a doe. It's a tough life for bucks.
Sexual intercourse between buck and doe White Tails consists of a single thrust. Something a number of wordforgers might be familiar with...
