    The hunting season is timed such that most fans are weaned before un-antlered adults may be shot. Source: Kentucky department of fish & wildlife summer camp in the 90s. Unfortunately, deer aren’t always born or weaned according to statistics, but the law tries to prevent it.

    This article on the ethics of shooting a doe with fawn from the hunter’s view corroborates this. CW: bloodless photo of a dead deer

      CAN’T!

      Ducking autocarrot.

      But I think fin whales nurse for 2+ years making seasons a bit tricky (with some of the big whales the bulls have a quite ungentlemanly behaviour towards calfs iirc).

        No worries! Sometimes the fingers don’t type what the brain wants them to, and then the eyes skip the typo when you proofread. Thanks for clarifying 💜

          Yeah, and now my new comment about bull whales is a bit of a non sequiturs. I’m just tired man.
