Just posted on the Facebook page of Congressman Paul Ryan.  (As if we needed another reason to love the guy.)

No shots were fired.  The deer simply fell down dead when it realized it was Paul Ryan tracking it.

FINALLY, something nice to hang in the Oval Office.

Ever since the bust of Winston was returned, the center of power of the West has been lacking a certain aura, a certain mystique that only an 8 pointer (?) can replace.

I count seven, but it's kind of hard to tell from the pic.  Either way it's a nice one.  Venison hors d'ouerves at Casa Ryan!!

There is a participle that perfectly describes Paul Ryan's grin, but the Code of Civility restrains me.

...You guys don´t have to worry about PETA getting involved on this one, unless Congressman Ryan is planning to make a Tanooki suit with the fur.

Ooh la la, Professor. Will bewitchin' do?

Guy sure has the geeky good looks thing down.

A question for you hunters. Why, if neon orange vests and hats are required for safety, are the rest of your duds camouflaged?

Since there is no weapon in the photograph, one can only assume Mr. Ryan pursued the buck on foot and slayed it with his hands.

There are two answers: 1) it's thematic fashion, 2) depending on the state, there are some game (waterfowl, turkeys) and some hunting arrangements (tree stands) that don't require blaze orange, so you can use the same gear.

To help break up your silhouette.  Deer are color-blind, so the orange vest doesn't hurt your chances that much -- they're not likely to recognize a vest-shaped object as a threat as long as they don't make out the outline of a bipedal animal wearing it.
Other game (turkey, for instance) are NOT color-blind, hence the need for natural-colored cammo.

Plus, it looks cool (if you're into that sort of thing).

Since you said it first, I'll second your "ooh, la, la!"
