Where I grew up in Wisconsin, deer hunting was a religion. During hunting season, northbound traffic on the U.S. 41 would be bumper-to-bumper every Friday night. On Sunday, the cars going south would be bumper-to-bumper, often with deer carcasses tied to the roof of the car.

Here in the Sierra Foothills of California, I'll often find as many as 8 big deer in my yard. It's a bit daunting to walk through them on my way from the garage to the house in the dark. I've learned to carry a flashlight. Deer kill more Californians every year, than mountain lions do.

As far as I know, deer hunting is not allowed in this part of California. If I could hunt in my yard, I'd never have to pay for meat.
