Answer 7

I'm more than sure your answer is correct. I just glimpsed on wikipedia and it seems to be that it comes from the anchient mayans who would search for days in hopes of striking a deer with an arrow. They were a large part of the land civilization as well. Proving to be the Iz-Land-Eerz as you sound typed it. Hope this helps you win your case!! :0)
