(The locations in this anecdote really won't mean anything to anyone
here, except me and GMoney)

Years ago (1995-ish), when I still lived in Kansas, my wife was
driving from Leavenworth to Olathe on K-7 to pick me up from work. She
had just reached the State Ave/K-7 interchange (@Bonner Springs) when
a small herd of deer bounded up out of the turnpike on-ramp (is that
still a left turn across two lanes of highway traffic?) and ran across
the road in front of her.

She slammed on her brakes and managed avoid all but the last two deer.
She clipped one on its hind legs which caused it to spin, clobbering
the right front fender and breaking all the glass out of the windows
on the right side of the car. The second she hit in its front legs
which sent it careening into the windshield (not sure how it managed
to stay intact) up, over the top of the car and down onto the back
window, breaking that and crumpling the trunk.

Deer are heavy.

Now, I tell you all this because the first person to stop after the
accident, after ascertaining that my wife was not injured, asked if he
could "collect the meat" and then waited patiently for the KHP officer
to arrive so that he could have two deer tags issued.

Wouldn't want to be accused of poaching after all...

So, no, it is not unlikely that Governor Perry might actually have
been making an uninformed statement.
