There can be no better name for a baby deer than Byron. Well that's Sully's opinion, anyhow. And who would question the assertive, long-haired mountain man (Joe Lando) about anything?<br />
<br />
The love interest of DR. QUINN MEDICINE WOMAN can wield a knife like Chuck Bronson in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, so just keep quiet when he decides Byron is the perfect name for a wayward, bleeding dough. <br />
<br />
And so now, on this Thanksgiving day, enjoy your turkey... but please, lay off the deer. <br />
