T'underin' Jayzuz -- a moose ya says? (Thanks -- now I have Buddy Wasisname and The Other Fellers' greatest hits running through my head. And an overwhelming craving for some bakeapple jelly. And salt capelin -- but not at the same time. And for those who are wondering, the original posting is in perfectly grammatical Newfinese.)

Rather strange thread here.
I assume you mean deer

No, b'y -- he means moose. (They're not native to Newfoundland, and now their number is sufficiently high to warrant a major cull. Not only are they eating themselves into starvation, they've become one of the leading causes of death and injury on the roads. Imagine hitting a cow on stilts -- you take the stilts out from under them, and you get a half-ton of solid meat missile coming through the windshield. Newfoundland is one of the few places where getting a moose license doesn't mean entering a long-shot lottery and, if you happen to win, having to enter a foursome.)
