The video "Red Rover" reflects a part of my life in rural Moscow
Township-roadkills, increasing road traffic as our population
explodes, the endless fall deer hunt. We are part of the designated cir-
cle drawn on the state map by the DNR to search for deer with Chronic
Wasting Disease. The kill goes on and on, but not for food. "Sport"
is
no longer served. Species are joined, entwined-deer and man both
endangered. Livestock have a certain life ending, but my backyard
deer play blackjack at the MGM Casino of life and death. The term
"wild" ceases to be.
