I hate deer

[cheferson]

Saw a dead one on 1a yesterday. Last week, dead tired after an all nighter i came close to smacking a huge buck going 75 on route one. Jumped over the jersey barrier and landed 15 ft in front of me in the middle of my lane. Wasnt half alseep after that.

Sorry to hear, must have ruined your trip for sure. Glad your OK.
Two years ago we had a woman killed inside the car as the deer thrashed around with his hoofs cutting her head andthroat.

Have hit 2 over the years with alot of damage, both came out of nowhere.

So far since using the deer whistles i've been ok and see them pick up heir ears at a distance when you approach. The electric ones are the best.

What are deer whistles?

My wife hit a doe a month back doing 35mph 5 grand in damage.

Now here is one for the "I don't believe it" category:
My brother RAN OVER a buck up in the NH Lakes region with his Geo Metro (He calls it his "clown car", an you would too when you see a 270lb. guy climb out of this sub-sub compact.)
He saw the deer in time to brake, but the deer was hit in the hind quarters, kbnocked down and rideen over by the car. The ONLY damage to the car was a dented hood. The police officer that took my brothers info didn't believe the report until he saw the scene firsthand.

I've had more than my share of roadside wildlife encounters, only mine have been with moose.
With a deer, the collision "could" be fatal, but with a moose it "ususally" is!
