Calamity Jane Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Driving home from work tonight a car in front of me hit a 6 point Buck. I pulled along side of her after the crash and asked if she was OK. She said, "Yes we are OK. I just feel sorry for the deer." SORRY FOR THE DEER???? Her SUV had a smashed head light and a bent up grill. My thought was...that deer just tried to kill you. Why must these deer be so suicidal??? Why are out to kill us?!! My brother came down this week and set his deer stands. I'm going to hunt deer with him on Thanksgiving morning. I'm going to put my coverall's on, use my nephews 20 gage shot gun with a mounted scope, sit in a ladder stand at dawn, AND IF a deer comes walking by....I'm going to shoot it! (insert evil laugh) AND NO I won't feel sorry for the deer. These deer try to kill me every morning and evening on my way to and from work. I think one day a year to get even is fair.

J-Ho Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 They are out to get us. They are not suicidal. They are just like the bombers in Iraq and Israel. They are just trading their lives for ours. Luckily deer havn't yet learned how to make explosives. Everyone should hunt and bag their limit. Deny matyrdom to those four legged bastards!!!

steel1212 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 The reason your getting "attacked" by so many is that not enough people feel the need to do their part and thin the heards. In Ky, unless the laws have changed, we are allowed one atlered deer and several none atlered deer (maybe unlimited). The reason is we have to damn many. My future wife is a vet so if I do get a chance to go hunting the meat either gets donated to the deer for the needy or most of it turned into Jerky and my buddies getting the good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singlestack Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Cars kill more deer than people every year. Yet deer are scared of people and not cars. You would think they would figure it out. A very important lesson I learned the last one I hit: Any time a deer is not running directly away from you, it is confused. Stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBarnes101 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Jane, Glad that deer decided to run in front of someone else and not you. I'm also glad no one was hurt! Deer gun season starts next weekend and with all of the people in the woods it will push the deer out. Be careful out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 35,000 reported accidents with deer every year here in Georgia. Insurance companies love us hunters. Limit is 10 does / 2 bucks. I'll do my best, Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Go get'em Boz. Ya know if people looked at it like this, if they would take their limit every year, the herds would get smaller, healthier and you wouldn't have to pay for meat all year!

SA Friday Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 It's pre-rut to rut depending on where you live. The deer are running everywhere. The does are in estrus (or close) and the bucks are horney (pun intended). That 6 point wasn't trying to kill the driver, he was trying to get laid.

ChrisStock Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 ...... My future wife is a vet so if I do get a chance to go hunting the meat either gets donated to the deer for the needy or most of it turned into Jerky and my buddies getting the good stuff Hey, we can we be buddies? I looove a little venison jerky My poor 1983 Audi 100 ate a deer in 1989 in Munster, Germany. $3K later, I got the car back. Bad deer, Bad!

G-ManBart Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 A few years ago a woman was driving to work on the VA side of the greater DC area and hit a deer on one of the big 8-10 lane roads. The deer went through the windshield and the driver was killed....how tragic. If I recall correctly, she was a teacher...it was big news there, but the idiots continue to feed the deer and do their best to stop hunting.

BigDave Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I feel sorry for the deer (no, really.) BTW - I can field dress one as quickly and cleanly as anyone and have processed more than my fair share. I have no issues hunting and eating them.

Vulture Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 My brother works in a body shop in northern MN and had a new Chev 4x4 come in with the paper plate in the window, The guy was driving it home from the lot after buying it and creamed a deer. so my brother and the fellas put a new front end on this new truck and the guy comes to pick it up and while driving it home from the body shop, you guessed it, nailed another one . He said they are backed up until mid Dec with just road kill cars. Deer are stupid all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Kevin....your picture of the deer driving the car made me laugh REALLY hard I tried to do a quote/reply but for some reason it won't let me do that this morning. Thread drift.... I've never been hunting so this experience I'm planning with my brother is kind of special. OK I say I've never been hunting but that isn't quite true. When I was 9 years old my Dad took my brother and me squirrel hunting. My brother was 11 at the time. I think it was more of a Father/Son thing and I was along for the ride. I simply walked through the woods with my Dad and tried to be as quiet as possible. We killed 8 squirrel that day. Dad and my brother skinned the squirrel. I took the tails and nailed them to the side of my play house. My Mom fried the squirrel and we ate it. That's it. That's the extent of my hunting experience. OK well there was this other time when I took my STI limited gun and shot a rodent. My husband was FURIOUS with me. It was a diseased rodent doing harm to my horse!! It had to be done! I think his issue was my weapon choice. Anyway, I've never really had an urge to hunt but it's something that I want my boys to be competent at. I want my brother to teach me first and then the boys will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I had a deer hit the side of my car when going about 50 on a country road. I didn't hit it - the deer hit me!?!? Scared the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganShootist Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) The Michigan Department of Natural Resources or DNR (Some people up here say that DNR stands for Damn Near Russia)... anyway......... They say my home county has 1.25 - 1.5 deer for every man woman and child living in the county. We are currently deep into the rut and the firearms season opens in 2 days. On any two lane road a person that drives over 40 mph is mearly a deer target. They are running across the roads like the video game Frogger. I have 2 scrapes that are 6 feet in diameter in front of one of my ground blinds ( a little 4 X 8 structure complete with heat).... at less than 100 yards distance . . . .so I'm amped up... and will be up and about around 4 o'clock on Thursday. My 30.06 700 is zeroed in and my freezer finally has some space from the 2 bucks and a doe I put in there last year. Summer sausage, breakfast sausage, venison chili, venison spagetti, venison steaks, cajiun venison and rice, vension vegatable soup, vension stroganoff (with red wine sauce)............etc.....etc. Do I love wildlife............You bet............ Especially with the right sauce. Maybe we should have a Bambi recipe thread after the season. BTW===I am a transplanted Hoosier.. and know that the lady starting the thread has a ton of big deer in her neck of the woods.

AlamoShooter Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Mount a knife and fork to your front grill = that should scare them off the highway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 The devious deer have struck again. This time my brother was the victim. He was once again placing deer stands and he sees a deer in the woods. He's driving his truck along the woods looking at this deer and he drives his truck into a sink hole!! If those dastardly deer aren't jumping OUT at us, they are distracting us to the point of wrecking our vehicles! Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
