F***ing Deer

[Mr. Pickles]

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.

Dinner!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It'll be a shame if the car is totalled, I love that little car.

Yup, Pa is really bad for deer. I see new ones spread on the road every morning on my way to work. I hit one about 4 years ago, Im surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Good thing it didn't "climb up" in your windshield!


They can be pretty reckless.

I have an 11 mile commute and I see 2 or 3 new carcasses every morning. Sometimes, if they get hit square on by a semi, there's a huge blood patch at the impact point, and a trail of it to the body. Looks like a scene from a Tarantino movie....

Useless critters they are.

Been there. Mammoth, little over a year ago.

The Pennsylvania dear are stupid, I believe they try to commit suicide and take someone with them. I lucky, Lina crashes my car before we leave the garage area. Step into Lina's world, gas and brake pedals are the same and brick walls walk in front of cars. That might be true to some extent. The same garage wall killed two of my fleet drones. I had three never at the same time, the last one just flew off. The control unit stopped working as it headed off to down town Pittsburgh a big time no fly zone.

I thought they were extinct.

Bet that did some damage.

Good thing you weren't driving the Lambo.

I got one a few weeks ago, $9500 in damage. A coworker hit one last week and totalled his car, then a girl in our office hit one on the way to work last night. From the look of things, her car is probably totalled as well. It buckled the hood and shoved it up against the windshield, hit and bent the roof, busted up the radiator and supports, took off a Fender and deployed all the airbags.

Edit to add: Funny that my phone corrects "fender" to "Fender".

That sucks. Glad you're not hurt.

Perfect example of how we need to control the deer population.

 

[Jymbopalyse]

Glad to hear you're ok!
They are crazy buggers.
Hope you don't get to screwed by insurance.
I have to wade through them just to get out of my driveway.

Had a doe cross in front of me this morning on my way to work...left to right. Missed it by less than 20 feet @ 40MPH.

Huntin' venison with a Ford Ranger prolly ain't the way to go....

@ OP...glad you're OK..sorry 'bout your car.

I almost hit one doing 160 in Central New Jersey and another friend of mine did, although not going nearly as fast, and totaled his Ferrari.

I noticed on my way home this afternoon that there's 4 more laying beside the road within a mile of where I got mine.

I'm so glad this thread isn't about bestiality, as the title suggested!

Sorry about the mishap LP121. Thankfully you weren't injured. I've heard some really horrific stories.

We live in a rural area and a woman we know was driving her daughters new car back after dropping her off at the station. Not far from her small town she was confronted by a large stag which was in the middle of the road so she stopped and got out to shoo it out of harms way. The bloody thing went her!

She jumped back into her daughters shiny new car only to have the deer apply it's very large rack to the drivers door trying to get her! The soft velvet did no actual harm to the car but you can imagine her wondering how to explain the damage to her daughter.

She has vowed to leave them to their own devices from now on~
