^^^^^^^^Thanks R. It sounded a lot worse than it felt.
I think he committed suicide by car. He met me in my lane. By the time my brain processed what it was, my hood folded up and I couldn't see him.
Knocked the antlers right off his head, I did.
I lived in PA for the majority of my life. Thought I dodged a bullet moving to Michigan. Hit one within the first six months. BoooooooTexas and Pennsylvania rank number 1 and number 2 for deer collisions.![]()
Get out! I thought that only happened to me!I had one run head on into my car while it was parked. Knocked itself out.
Just be thankful they have tapetum lucidum (reflective eyes). Moose don't. They are like a black hole on the road at night.Glad it wasn't worse. I fear them on the motorcycle this time of year.
They live on the Interstate? Or highways or even back roads? Then they really ARE too stupid to let livea guy I knew hit a deer, threw the thing in the back of his truck before the tow truck got there and cooked it up the next day
deers are stupid but remember, we are the ones speeding through their homes.
Choot'em Jacob! Choot'em!This time of year it's impossible to be aware enough to stay out of their way.
When the chase is one, they are moving!
I sometimes worry about getting run over walking from the driveway to the front porch.
