Oregon culture.

One wonders why they don't believe in the value of human life and property. But as you say - Oregon is an entire state of people that must come from San Francisco.

Some man got tired of some deer eating his extremely expensive landscaping and shot two of them with a high powered pellet gun killing them. There was 20 minutes on the news about this being a hate crime that would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In San Francisco this is probably 100 times worse that the knock out robberies that are committed daily. People as old as 86 have been hospitalized and they have clear pictures of the felon and somehow no one can find him. But killing deer is REALLY important.

I don't understand this. My grandfather shot at least one deer a year
probably from the time he was 12 or 13 years old and no one seemed to
complain. I'd guess probably a hundred deer, or more, as if the game
warden was off somewhere else he'd shoot two. Goodness, my father used
to shoot deer and I've shot a few myself.

I can't remember anyone ever getting all fussed up about it.

Unfortunately, our village officials would probably get all fussed up
about it if I shot some of the deer that frequent our yard. I'm tempted,
becasue they decimate our landscaping every winter.

I don't think even the neighbors would complain; in fact, the physicians
that own the big wooded lot behind me would be grateful. Not long after
building their huge house, a deer managed to get into a sunken garden
and destroy a lot of expensive stuff plus itself. They hated dealing
with the dead deer and the repairs, and now hate deer in general.

But there's no hunting in village limits. And my wife claim she doesn't
like venison anyway.
