Oh, Deer! 🦌

Image Credit: George Hodan The deer population has become a serious concern in many parts of our area. Many residents complain that they are a nuisance and also a danger where serious accidents are occurring from them darting, without warning, in front of vehicles. But recently, complaints have risen, although it is deer hunting season (when people hunt for preparing venison), and residents are…

So my hiking route today took me through a deer park with, I kid you not, a 50+ herd of albino/leucistic fallow and (not very) red deer… what are the changes lol

Now I’m imagining poor Vasco in this Where’s Waldo situation, once he gets a grip on himself and goes back to find Machete.

(The expressions in Hound Mode btw were delightful!)

Ah, that must've been quite a sight! It's always such a staggering feeling coming across a big herd of any large animals, at least if you ask me. The fact they were all white just adds to the effect.

I hope Vasco would've fetched Machete and showed him the deer as well. I don't think he's encountered many other albinistic animals, at least in canon. He might've been impressed.

It's been a while since i was last on this blog, besides the interesting Plasmoid race that's giving me ideas, what other unique races are there?

Also what is your opinion on potatoes? 🥔🎀✨️

You actually caught me in a moment where I haven't been paying the most attention, just went from near a month of 12 hour workdays to trying to refill the queue decimated in that time XD In general we've been doing the loser's bracket of Mordenkeinen's monsters and all the PC species. So we've had a good amount of the weirder monsters lately, like the star spawns and hags. I got a lot of entertainment out of the war over the demon lords when some main tournament bits posted out of turn (didn't have time to refresh queue with the right monsters).

Things are about the heat up as we launch into the main tournament though, and PF2e monsters in a few weeks! I'm especially excited about the PF2e stuff, and have spent my last 2 days prepping like 50 of them.

Oh, and potatoes are some of the finest things known to our species, the Inca should be celebrated worldwide for thier contribution to humanity! They have gotten me through the toughest times. Did you know they have all the carbs and nutrients needed for our survival except proteins, fatty acids, calcium, selenium, fibre and vitamins A, B12, E, K. Cycle in some beans occasionally to cover half of what remains, some vitamins (or better, some veggies) and milk (or leafy veggies like spinach or turnip greens) for a cheap and tasty way to stay perfectly healthy on little money. That + some occasional cheap meats or bones begged from the local butcher kept me alive for a while! Hell, Potatoes+Zucchini/Squash+cheap cuts of meat+leafy greens+beans are most of what I eat NOW

was watching springwatch last night and there was a rly cool thing about the capercaillies and trying to help them repopulate via providing carcasses for the pine martens (who were successfully reintroduced) so that they'll eat that and not the capercaillie eggs. and thats very very cool if itll work. also 3 birds 1 stone, because you can use the invasive deer for food, feed the pine martens, and protect capercaillie nests all in one

“Ohhh capybaras are so cute, they get along with all kinds of animals! 🥰” WRONG

They don’t care for pigs.

Driving in rural wooded areas be like "What manner of beast is this?" and as you pass by it you go "Ah a mailbox."

Accurate representation of how I feel searching for deer related things on eBay and it's all stuff made from antlers or apparel for people who make hunting deer their whole personality.

the more I read about current efforts to restore biodiversity the more I believe that north america should be eating primarily bison and elk/deer meat. While conservation herds and wild bison are important, the vast majority of plains bison (420,000 as opposed to 20,500) are in commercial herds.

If we are going to get that number even close to what it used to be (millions!), it is going to be because of an increased demand for bison meat. An increase on our reliance for bison would likely see more effort put into bison genetics, which would serve conservation efforts.

Eat bison.

hello, please may I ask what your view is on cliftondeer. org?

They look good to me from what I can see! They’re focused on humane population control using sterilisation and release methods, and are a non-profit working under a research grant to monitor effectiveness. They are very transparent, even about accidental casualties. Based on what I can see from their website, it is the kind of program we desperately need to see implemented on a larger scale.
