Texas couple snaps photo of deer destroying Obama front yard sign

[Liberal_in_LA]

A Texas couple determined to find out who had been damaging a sign in their front yard proclaiming their support for President Obama's re-election bid caught the offender on Wednesday. Tom Priem, a software support engineer in Austin, told FoxNews.com he and his wife, who live on a block where political signs dot front yards, were fed up with seeing only their Obama sign repeatedly defaced.

“The sign had holes poked in it like somebody had stuck a knife through it,” Priem said Friday. “At first I thought it was somebody who didn’t like Obama.”

Priem said he even called a city hotline to document the incident in case a more insidious offender was to blame. He couldn’t believe his eyes when his wife showed him the surveillance photo she snapped seconds after the campaign sign was destroyed - by a buck.

---------------------------

Priem’s wife, Beth, captured the deer on camera early Wednesday, just seconds after the Obama sign fell from its antlers. The commotion sent the family’s Yorkshire terrier, Charlie, into a frenzy.

17. Richie Rich fed bucky some dollar bills, lied about freedom not being free, and sprayed some other

buck's piss on Mr. President's sign. Doesn't take much to piss off a right wing deerie. He also heard that Mr. President didn't really want to take away those damn guns. Guess the camera was down for those parts.

[randome]

18. And he does this every day? Poor guy's in a rut.

[lonestarnot]

19. Then he's confussed about everything as winter is quickly approaching and rut isn't until spring.

[randome]

20. He wants to break with tradition, then.

It's about time the deers of the world stood up for the right to rut whenever they damn well please!

[HarveyDarkey]

21. The rut is in the fall

the does deliver in the spring

Some years, like back during the 2010 season, the scraping, overhanging branch and rutting action by bucks and does began in the Northeast and the Midwest in early September! And quickly a decent late October-early November rut unfolded, contrary to what some predicted was to be the latest rut we would ever see. The timing of was proven by the late May fawn drop. (Since the gestation period of whitetails is 200 days, by counting back, the conception date is validated.)

And last season, the 2011 rut peaked in mid-November, almost two weeks later than the previous year, but as predicted. We will have to wait until May for the fawn drop proof. But trail cams and success stories have been proof enough, though certainly anecdotal, that Northeast and Midwest whitetails carried out their annual ritual right on que.
