But deer don't have horns. They have antlers.

Picky, picky, picky<grin> You're right, but I was pretty sure he
didn't have (hippopotumuses/) (hippopottomi?) hippos in MD, and goats,
a more likely type of horn rats are not usually allowed in suburban
areas..... After working on the cooperative extension's gardening
hotline, something that comes in and eats all the landscaping
vegetation and only has 4 legs, well, that's deer. I might have
called them wood-pigs, since they do eat everything, but that would
have been a boar.

Thank you. I'm still baffled by all these people thinking deer have
horns. Those are Unicorns, which would be perfectly at home in
Jim's head.
