Is anyone else reminded of that scene in Me, Myself and Irene where Jim Carey tries to humanely dispatch a milkcow?

When I'm driving down the road, I know it's a possibility and it cannot be avoided.

That isn't the case on HTC's boards.

FWIW I don't think this is tasteless.

It's a fact of life and good for some people to see. I can't tell you how many turons... er.. tourists think hitting a deer wouldn't mess up their vehicle.

How far do you want to go with that idea?

because adult (humans) die in disgusting ways thru negligence every day and so do children.

should I begin posting those so we can all learn from it and get used to seeing it?

would I actually be doing the community a favor?

I don't think that is for me to do, and this definately isn't the forum for it.

Well, Turner "knew better" being the Altanta city slicker he is, and did it anyway. So far, 3 deaths have been attributed to Turners buffalo on this highway in 10 years, they not only stand in the road, they charge oncoming cars.

Another dumb dem that don't listen.

Can't be fenced in?? WTF? Sure they can. There is a HUGE buffalo farm just south of where I deer hunt. Fence is about 12' high with 10 strands of electrifed wire.

They've never had any get out. Maybe Ted T needs to crank up the juice to his fence. Put enough voltage to it, they'll stop.

This is the natural world. Animals and people die. Country people love wildlife too. They just don't delight in seeing them standing on the side of the road. When they do see one, they grit their teeth and prepare to take evasive action.

When deer numbers are too high, you are likely to have one come crashing through the windshield. Discussing the situation doesn't make us any less civilized. Even the jokes are normal behavior.

Besides, everyone should have to kill their own meat at least once in a lifetime in order to gain a greater appreciation of it, and what it represents.

Yes deer can jump and they jump well in fact. When I was in high school and on the way home from a date one night in early October 1987 I had a very large buck jump over my car (1986 Honda CRX Si). I was going up a road (For those of you familiar with Central Alabama the road was Highway 14 between Marion and Selma.) about 11:30pm when I noticed something show up on the side of the road about 300 yards away. It was a full moon and no clouds in the sky. As I got closer (probably 100 yards or so) I saw about 10 deer standing within 20-30 yards off the road. I slowed down and when I did the buck closest to me started running toward the road. It was too late for me to slow any further and I kept the car straight. I had the sunroof open and looked up when I saw the deer jump on the side of the road. As I looked up I saw white belly and hooves about a foot over the car. I was shaking so bad I had to stop the car and get out and walk around.

This was after I had already hit 4 deer in two months. I totaled a 1981 Cutlass Calais when I hit the second deer a week after I got the car out of the shop from hitting the first one. The next one I hit in a 1942 Willys Jeep that we had rebuilt and made into an off road deer hunting ride for getting deep into the swamp area to hunt. And the last one I hit with my Mom's Buick Regal. The only one not reported and not causing damage was the one I hit in the jeep. The other three hits caused over $10,000 in damage and totaled out one car.

The one I hit that totaled out my car I hit at 2:30 AM coming back from an away football game. I hit that deer going 65 mph and tore the entire front and right front off the car and warped the frame. From the point I came to a stop that deer was another 60 feet in front of my car and was split in half connected only at the spine. The state trooper that showed up to write up the accident estimate that the deer flew about 150 feet.

A good deer fence is about 12 feet tall. I guess that means they can jump.

My brother was on his way to Mt. Bachelor for his honeymoon (the irony of that only now occured to me). It was snowing and he was going slow... very slow... about 10 mph. Suddenly, a deer came screeming down the hill and rammed the side of his car. It shattered his windshield and the passenger side door, mangled the a-pillar and actually broke his sunroof too. Then it got up and ran off.

...And then you heard a "Ho ho Ho! Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!"

Meanwhile, coming in the opposite direction at an elevation of twelve thousand feet in a Cessna was Rude...

(j/k, I bet u DID have to stop and walk around.)

That wasn't a deer; it was Bill Romanowski on a 'roid rage.
