I read Foucault's Pendulum, but remember very little about it, except that there were two words I had to look up - on the first page! Very rare for me. I also read Angels and Demons, which didn't stick any better (and I wouldn't believe much that HE said, anyway - lots of sloppy stuff in The Da Vinci Code). I may have to try Eco again. Huh.

I also saw some stuff about them in a TV documentary dealing with Dan Brown's ANGELS AND DEMONS, so they presumably played a part in that book (confused with the Freemasons, IIRC). They are supposed to have played a role in the various liberal revolutions of 1848, especially in the more violent ones. nyaggglm -- a sneer at Glamour-Geek's glamour The Rosicrucians played a major role in Umberto Eco’s FOUCAULT’S PENDULUM.

And the other regs are in place to keep to a minimum those people who just want to go shoot something, as opposed to most sport hunters who are pretty conscientious.

You cannot just take the antler and leave the carcass (wasting the meat). You cannot buy a tag and give it to someone to hunt for you. Etc. Lots of rules. Not being a hunter myself (and a city girl now out in the wilds of eastern Washington state) I know very little about hunting but I do like venison and elk. And am considering asking friends to take me hunting with them so I can learn. I've had fresh rabbit out of my own garden, but I won't eat the squirrels. They look too much like rats with furry tails. Here’s a link to a gov’t page on hunting rules in Idaho (USA).

And brands of clothing (White Stag). Perhaps the word is used for wapiti, but I haven't heard it. We've stopped using a lot of pretty good words, I'm afraid. Also, we appear to have fewer deer species - I'm only aware of two, the so-called White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus ) and O. hemionus , the mule deer (so-called due to big ears), which are, apparently 3-3.5 feet at the shoulder (about 1 m, I suppose!), weighing 125-330 lb (a pretty wide range). Mule deer are found in the West, while the white-tailed deer is in virtually all of N. America, except some of the West. They're similar in size to the Mule deer, but perhaps slightly towards the larger end of the range (at least, that's my impression). I don't know how this compares to Roe or Fallow Deer, but perhaps that's why we use the terminology.

Don't you use the word 'stag' in AE, then?
