The first thing to note about the Big K is that it’s truly in the middle of nowhere. My flight out of long beach was delayed, so I didn’t land in Portland until about 9:50pm. With one brief stop to grab a snack, I arrived at the Big K Lodge at 1:30pm. The drive itself was mostly a straight shot down the Five until the last 45 minutes. Then it was a very foggy and wet forest highway. I could tell in dry conditions it would have been very fun on a motorcycle, beautiful 70 mph sweepers. Anyway, since I was arriving so late, the staff of the Big K gave me some directions once I arrived at the edge of the property.
Once you reach the Big K, the final four miles is a gravel road. I could tell it would have been perfect for a Rally stage, but given the fog, animals, and unfamiliarity I drove very slowly… which was good. During some of the hairpins I noticed they installed blue and red cat’s eyes to discourage folks from driving off the steep embankments. About half way to the lodge I saw a pair of cats eyes, only they were silver, and they were moving, I immediately slowed to a walking pace. Blacktails, a whole big mess of Blacktails, mostly Does and Fawns, I didn’t see any bucks, but it was very dark. I watched them stot away. About 5 minutes later I saw three more Blacktails, again a Doe with two Fawns. Needless to say, I’m excited.
Alright, off to bed. Long day ahead.

Of course if it wasn’t to protect your selfish life, you would go over the speed limit, ignoring the LAW. Not to mention endangering non-human species. So what are you gonna do? Kill a “buck” (they’re called stags by the way, but I suppose you’re obsessed with $$$)? Get the horns to show everyone how “macho” you are?
Stags are majestic creatures. My boyfriend (who respects me as a wom!n by the way) is an otherkin Stag and he weeps every time he sense one of this kind has been killed. I hope you’re happy!!

I weep everytime I sense a new over-emotional, naive member of the tree huggers force.
Do you seriously live in a dirt hut? You must, because any gas you use, electricity you use, air you expel, water you waste, etc., sounds like it defies all means of our earth’s survival (going by your outlandish theories). Tree hugging troll!
