Deer vs. King Air.

I'll not post the last picture of what's left of the deer.

I can't help but ask... Did the deer actually hit the plane or did you let Jason have it?

I guess I don't get the reference.  There are many other rather gory nasty awful photos of what can happen when a deer (or worse yet, people...  :( ) meet airplanes and airplane engines.

It's a big deal especially if you're the one paying the bills/insurance premiums.

Well, it looks like somebody put a deer through a wood chipper.... or in this case, a propeller...  :noid

Golfer I think he was referencing Jason Voorhees.
