Too many freaking deer
We're on the road tonight, heading into Indianapolis doing about 75. All of the sudden my headlights illuminate a freaking deer standing on the interstate. No time to brake, I just swerved HARD into to the other lane (I knew it was clear). Tires skid and for half an instant, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to control the vehicle.
I have to say everything went perfectly. If I had to do that 100 times, I'm pretty sure I'd plow the deer or lose control a few times. It looked huge, but no one saw if it was a buck or a doe. I only got a good look about half way up its back haunches. Drove for the next 40 miles barely daring to blink, and flashing my brights a couple times a minute. Saw another deer laying on the side of road, basically cut in half. Seems like we need to have an extended deer season to thin the herd a bit, before they thin us. |

Our neighborhood is crawling with them, Mr. cdcox. I live in a neighborhood that has pretty big lots and tons of wooded areas. A couple of nights ago, I was driving home in the dark and came upon a large doe standing in my street. I drove right up to her and she just stood there ... like a friggin' cow or something. Didn't move. Didn't run. Didn't leap for safety. Eventually just wandered off a little and I was able to drive around her. Crazy ass deer.

Then it will be time for the 30-06 and some very tender baby deer steaks.

Last week, a doe came into the back lawn and started eating birdseed out of our bird feeder. I stepped out on the back deck and explained that the birdseed was for birds and that you are a deer - not a bird. The deer just kept eating birdseed and looked at me like I was an idiot.

Driving back from El Dorado, AR last fall on highway 82 about 2am, Bob Dole lost count of the deer standing around on the shoulder at 120. It was insane.

I do my part and shoot a couple every year. unfortunately, deer that live in areas like Fax's neighborhood get used to people and are more likely to just hang around the streets.

Swerving to avoid a deer is stupid. Even if you knew the other lane was clear . You could have killed yourself by losing control going 75.

I do have a few that come up to my back yard but my dog just chases them off, I don't like them and I don't want them in my yard.
