Decoy Deer Used Against Poachers

Here’s another story of “animals” striking back. In this case the author details the use of a mechanical deer decoy to halt shooting from a car—at night—in New York state, but similar programs exist all over the country.
I like the idea. Anything that can be done to get the jerks who spotlight deeer and shoot at night from their vehicles is a great idea. And I love the name for the decoy used here: Timex. Could almost fit into the poem: “On Dasher, On Dancer, On Timex and Cupid…” It’s kind of timeless.
