Do I want to tackle a 230-pound guy who's running like a deer? Heavens no, no one in their right mind would. But there is something that drives me and compels me to stick my head in there and give it my best shot.

- Hale Irwin

If you want to save a species, simply decide to eat it. Then it will be managed - like chickens, like turkeys, like deer, like Canadian geese.

- Ted Nugent

New Jersey is the most poetic state: close enough to New York to be urban and cosmopolitan, far enough to be desirous and unsure; densely populated, but full of farms and woods, with the most deer of any state.

- Robert Pinsky

The fabled musk deer searches the world over for the source of the scent which comes from itself.

- Ramakrishna

The thought of eating rabbit and squirrels doesn't appeal to me. And that was on our table quite often as a kid. In your uppity restaurants, they serve a lot of rabbit. But I just can't help but think of Peter. And deer, I can't go there, because of Bambi.

I did not actually run down a deer for 'Tammy,' I promise.

If you need more than 10 rounds to hunt, and some argue they hunt with that many rounds, you shouldn't be hunting. If you can't get the deer in 3 shots, you shouldn't be hunting. You are an embarrassment.

I often have deer on my property and there's a fox and owls. You're not going to see that in the city.

- Billy Corgan

I was not meant to go deer hunting every fall.

Envy, like the worm, never runs but to the fairest fruit; like a cunning bloodhound, it singles out the fattest deer in the flock.

- Francis Beaumont

We may never find a way to live in suburbia with deer as we do with raccoons, say, or squirrels. So for this reason, it's very important that we make sure always to save enough wild or open land so that they can live in their normal manner.

- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

In my cosmology, indigenous wild deer are more important than exotic ornamental shrubs.

You know, if you need 100 rounds to kill a deer, maybe hunting isn't your sport.

- Elayne Boosler

A wounded deer leaps the highest.

- Emily Dickinson

I shoot the same rifle I've shot since I killed my first deer with it when I was nine.

- Boo Weekley

I don't believe you need high capacity magazines to go hunt. If you have to use 100 rounds to shoot a deer, you're in trouble.

- Bob Menendez

I like California but I'm dyed-in-the-wool Oklahoma. I see a deer in L.A., and everybody's standing around it taking pictures. Back home, that's the enemy!
