Got my deer last night....
« on: November 11, 2003, 07:47:41 AM »
with my car.


WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :(

Was on the way home from orchestra rehearsal on the freeway, in the fog. Was just thinking "It's deer hunting season, better keep an eye out."

About 5 mins later, here she comes, a nice looking, dumb as a rock doe, weighing in at about 200-250 pounds...loping across the road right out of the fog. I stood on the 4-wheel discs brakes of my 99' A4, but I ended up smacking into the poor thing on my right front side.

Took out the right front headlight assembly(but didn't affect the fog lamp, thankfully), and bashed in the right front quarter panel and hood about 9 inches. Luckily, didn't seem to get anything mechanical, so I was able to drive it home.

The deer was last seen flying about 100 ft in the air and I'm sure tumbled off into the ditch somewhere.

*sigh*

That sucks man.  Glad you are okay...and I hope the deer was killed outright and didn't suffer too much.

Sorry to hear that banana :(  But hey, its an Audi, they're like disposible lighters! :p :p :p :p

Did you call the Game dept.? They'll usually come out and pick the animal up. They used to use them for the soup kitchens, etc. (Have them butchered up, etc.)

You didnt make sure the poor thing was dead? I hit a coyote once with my car, fudged up the transmission. Didnt kill him so I had to do it, then his ungrateful buddys ate him.

Did you throw the deer in the trunk?  Go back and get it!  If it was cold out the meat will still be good.  Road kill venison!!

Sorry to hear that banana!  I've been lucky so far!

But the area in which it was hit is no good, bruised vension meat tastes worst than Antelope.  Also, you got to gut it/bleed it, right away or the meat is spoiled.  I keep a BFK in my truck for just such occasions (Did a road-side-gutting in 1982, haven't hit a deer since)

Well, it was dark, foggy as hell, and I was on the an interstate freeway (I-90), and I wasn't about to risk my life getting out to see if the deer was ok. Not that I could've found her anyway. And even if I did, being a bleeding heart liberal, I had no gun with which to end her suffering. What did you want me to do, strangle her to death? Or maybe use harsh language on her? I could've probably done that. I was swearing my head off all the way home.

I suppose if Lazs had been with me I could've pulled over so he could pump a few rounds into her, but since he lives about 2,000 miles away.....

oops was assuming most deer strikes occur on  lonely forested roads. hit on a freeway, deer deserves a deer darwin.  You mean you bleeding heart liberals dont have a BFK under the seat or a B-Ball bat in the trunk, or tire iron(also useful to have under the seat.  Or even one of those weighted kleenex holders?( my drivers ed teacher told us those things were deadly.)

LOL!

When I was 10, someone had hit a deer on the road out in front of our house.  My dad wasn't home, but my Mom was.  She knew what to do (She also hunts) and brought a sharp knife with her down to the road.  The deer was pregnant so instead of immediately bleeding/gutting the deer, she attemtped to save the unborn fawns life.  Unfortunately, the fawn was too premature.  She didn't gut the fawn, but gutted the Doe and we called the DNR. They came out and picked it up and thanked her for trying to save the fawns life (Shrugs).  I was pretty grossed out, never seen someone gut a deer before...

I'd rather hit a deer than be hit by a deer.  My wife was parked a stop light about four years ago when a deer charged out of the woods at a frantic pace and tried to jump over the roof of the car.

It didn't make the jump, but it did leave a nice dent in the rear driver's-side door right before breaking its neck.  Definitely Darwin at work on this one.

THAT pic, is F^&*ING hilarious.  I can hear the judges now: "I give that deer a 9.6 for Artistic Impression, wait, it stuck the landing"

Of course, my man standing by the Durango isn't thinking that.

IIRC the pic is from Minnesota also, so that could have been banana.

Sorry about the car banana, I was trying to thin them out a wee bit this past weekend, but they are just multiplying too quickly.  Went from seeing 10 deer the whole season a couple of years ago to seeing 30+ a night now.

Rip: gutting / bleeding is so cool to 5 year old boys.  My son didn't talk about anything else last year after I was fortunate enough to harvest a deer while he was hunting with me.  He was so proud to be able to help daddy with that.  Now if he had only been a little bigger so he could have drug it out of the woods.

You know, now that I think about it, I had my trumpet along with me. I could've gotten out and blew "taps" for it at least.

How am I ever going to explain this at my weekly PETA association meeting?
