Grab your camo and settle in, folks — it’s time for another dose of woodland wisdom from everyone’s favorite backwoods uncle. This week’s deer hunting cartoon finds Ol’ Rutgers crouched low behind a bush with his nephew, convinced a deer’s innocent ear scratch is top-secret herd communication. Classic Rutgers logic, folks.
If you’ve spent any time in a blind, you know the real “Morse code” out there is usually just a deer being a deer — but that never stops a hunter from reading tactical genius into every twitch and scratch. That’s exactly what makes this hunter and deer comic so relatable; we’ve all been there, overanalyzing the woods like we’re cracking enemy transmissions.
