Ariel Hunters

 

I thought this up while watching a nature documentary but I forget which one. For a while we were watching them with my toddler because she liked watching them with us and they're pretty calm and interesting so wins all around. The episode about the birds of prey was narrated by Anthony Mackie who plays the character Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I thought that was humorously fitting since falcons are birds of prey. 

Explanation: Birds of prey (like hawks) can be called aerial hunters because they hunt from the air. The Little Mermaid's name is Ariel, which sounds like aerial.

M: Look at those aerial hunters!
L: How do you know that those hawks are going after The Little Mermaid? 

Deer Management

 

The conversation in this comic happened in January, which apparently is when our local park management, um, manages the herd. I like my mental picture of the deer wearing neckties and staring (deer in the headlights, ha) at the park ranger sitting behind his desk in the woods as he calls each of them up to his desk and asks for five-year plans. Did a quick search and the average deer lifespan in the wild is three years, so that's just rude to ask for a five-year plan. I thought about having the guy in the comic holding a rifle of some sort, but wasn't sure it would look right so I left it out. 

Ha, I just thought of changing the guy in this comic to be a park ranger so he'd be holding a shotgun, saying the same thing as above, but the lady would say "Are you park rangers etc..." and that might be funnier since he's clearly not going to do that.

B: There's going to be some deer management in the parks nearby next week.
A: Are the park rangers putting neckties on the deer and asking for five-year plans?
B: ... Sure. 

Resource Hog

I thought this one up a while ago, pretty sure it was related to a work issue. Probably was searching through logs to find the culprit. I'm not a fan of hunting in real life - I'm fine with others doing it but if I had to kill my own meat, I would probably be vegetarian. I remember as a kid, we had a neighbor who was a hunter and this one time I saw a deer "hanging out" behind his house and I was like IT'S BAMBI'S MOM.

Hunter: What are you nerds tracking?
Nerd 1: A resource hog.
Nerd 2: Should be huge!

Shooting Goose Eggs

Apparently it's a saying that Google doesn't know about cause I searched and only got literal translations. I was at a gathering and there were some hunters talking about shooting nothing which is zero which is a goose egg?
