A question from a lifelong city girl whose one and only hunting experience ended in tears: deer lease? Wuh?
My imagination says it must be a safe zone that the deer lease for themselves each hunting season. (They earn the money for said lease by acting as stand-in models for reindeer over the Christmas holidays. Sure, it means they have to humiliate themselves a little by donning reindeer antlers and red noses, but they consider it a noble sacrifice. Plus, it makes for fun family stories: "My hoof to God's ears, that was TOTALLY Uncle Bob in that Santa commercial! He said Santa was pretty grumpy, but his breath was nice thanks to all of the candy canes. Also, he met Aunt Lorraine on set. She was playing Blitzen and Bob always likes to say Aunt Lorraine "Blitzened his heart" that day and he was never the same since. Yep, true story.")
