For deer hunters in Mississippi to legally kill a buck, the antlers in the targeted buck must measure 10 inches or wider from a measurement of the greatest inside spread between the two antlers. In order to correctly estimate this rule on an average mississppi buck, a hunter can estimate the width of a deer's ears in the alert position to be 14 inches. If a buck has antlers that are approximately 1 inch inside each ear in this position, and the antlers on average are approximately 1 inch thick at the level of the ears, then by using simple but repetitive subtraction, a Mississippi resident with average Mississippi genetics can estimate the inside spread of a deer's antlers to be 10 inches or larger, therefore a legal deer to shoot. (Teacher assist: 14 inches to tips of alert deer ears - 1 inch inside each ear - 1 inch of antler thickness at the ear level = 10 inches inside spread; I.e. 14-(2x1)-(2x1)=10 )

Assumptions for this second grade common core problem are as follows: 1. The hunter can get a long enough look at the deer with clear enough optics to see the deer in alert position without giving away the hunters position; 2. The deer is not confined by a movement restricting fence product such as high fence or game fence as deer on lands with such products will never produce antlers small enough to worry about the above antler restrictions; 3. The deer have been fed supplemental feed other than double down supplemental feed as double down has been known to cause cancerous growths on antlers that can skew a hunters judgement.


PETA statement: the above common core question has been violently protested by PETA and its affiliates as this question depicts the depravity of ma kind and the unethical promotion of hunting products. PETA and it's affiliates will gladly pay any legal fees for any student unable to mentally complete this examination due to unjust mental duress caused by this question and any other triggers or micro aggressions this question may have caused. PETA and it's affiliates are also strongly opposed to any hunting tactics that involve baiting, supplemental feeding, or fencing that restricts movement as these practices go against the free range practices advocated for all ethical farmers and/or food creators, although PETA itself is strongly opposed to eating any animals products at all and suggests every second grader in Mississippi get their daily caloric intake from a combination of Mountain Dew soda, tobacco chew, and hops and barely derived beverages.
