Discover the story of the song > The Hunting Song – Tom Lehrer

The song is about the protagonist going hunting for deer. He ends up shooting the maximum amount allowed by law, including two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow. As a result, he loses his hunting permit and is punished. He jokes that hunting is easy - just wait for something to move and shoot. He now boasts ten stuffed heads in his trophy room, including the cow.
