Even though most of the hilly area where I live are already developed, there are still large scrub brush covered valleys and hills around, and a few deers.  Yesterday afternoon on my way back from work, I saw two young deers wandering near the street just outside my house.  When I got home I told my wife.

wife: "let's go grab one and eat it"
me: "Huh? What? One, it's called poaching, which is illegal, and two, the deer can outrun you easily"

She insisted on looking for the deers anyway, so we took a short drive down the street, and lo and behold, the two deers are still there, chewing on somebody's landscaping about 10 yards away.

wife: "They are so cute! Can you shoot them?"
me: "Huh? What?"
wife: "You have guns.  Go get one"
me: "It's illegal to discharge firearm in open area in Orange County, plus there are houses around.  I might hit them if I miss.  And the noise"
wife: "Do you have...uh... what's that thing... silencer?"
me: "I'd just as soon have a pound of heroin in my trunk as to have a silencer.  What are you, nuts?"

She approached the deers and they gingerly hopped down the hill and disappeared.

True story.

Your wife sounds nucking futs dude!!

You should have told her that if she caught it you would cook it.

ive seen cuties id love to eat myself !!

Javak, Go buy her a steak from the outback. Next time you go hunting and bag game, let her gut the animal out, I'm sure that will eliminate her desire to kill and grill.

Yeah.  Does she have a sister?

There are times when my married life resembles episodes of "I Love Lucy".  Stay tuned next time, when you will hear me say:

"Aye yay-yay yay-yay!"

And don't get me started on that road kill deer.

P.S. I am going to get her some steak tonight, and change the combination on my gun safe.

answer shoudl have been "Yes" she was asking if you CAN not if you WOULD.

Can = possible to do it.
would = will do it.

On edit:  I see someone beat me to it.  Rats.

Sure.  A lot of places are posted "No shooting except in lawful pursuit of birds or mammals."
