Deer smashin'

[Heavy Metal Only]

You know I'm not a hunting finatic but, I have for the passed 4-5 years tried to get out there and try to find my trophy buck. I have had several oppertunites to take a doe but passed thinking I was going to wait for my trophy buck. Everyone I tell this to thinks I'm stupied for waiting for this trophy that will not happened anytime soon. I hunt on my own property, have spent lots on gear,tree stand, 50 cal black powder rifle. and even a feeder. all for baiting deer to me. Well this morinng I was on my way to meet K.M. at the range for a little practice. When all of a sudden out of nowhere my 8 point monster buck darts out of the woods right in front of my suburban. I slam on the brakes and smash into the side of this beautiful buck. I knocked him down and he slid and rolled off into a ditch. I stop to see if he was alive and it looked like I broke his leg. Not to mention about 1800 dollars in damage to the front end of my truck. So trying to do the right thing I called the wildlife guys who were closed so I called the sheriff. He comes out to the seen and says we need to wait for the game warrden to come out. I ask if hes going to die could I have him as I would have had his head txidermied. The cop said I had to leave and the game warrden wanted to finish him off and they would call me if I could have it. The buck dies before the warrden even gets there. so I left. 2 hours later I call the cops back and he said that the wardden said it was such a nice buck that he took it and was going to use it as a decoy for poachers. I can only hope and wish that another huge buck will come to my house in a couple of weeks. 1800 bucks and no deer to show for it. This was the first deer I would have ever taken. So I hate it when this happens. Killed my first buck and never got a shot off. SUCK

You should have gotten the deer. I can't say any more or it will get so political Flex will type green.

I hate that you didn't get your monster buck.. In California, of all places.. they made it legal to claim it if you hit it with your vehicle and you have a tag for where you hit it AND it's in season.. I guess they figured a rifle or a car is the same difference..

NOT even close!!! Cars kill a LOT more people than gun!!!!!

I hit a big deer when I was 17 driving through West Virginia. Buckled the hood on a '77 Bonneville, which was a TANK of a car.

I've hit a doe with my jeep about 5 years back. Lucky, it only took out a fog light. couldn't find the doe, I am sure she died somewhere in the woods. When deer get in rut, they do some really stupid stuff they wouldn't normally do.

I hit a cow on my dirt bike (Can-Am 125) and killed it when I was a kid. It had broke fence and got out. The guy who owned it buchared it and gave it to my family because he felt so bad about me crashing a tearing the hell out of my bike (I was wearing full dirt bike gear and only got bruise up a bit). If it had been a deer and I had kept it I would have been poaching according to Arkansas law at that time and they could have taken my bike and fined/arrested me. I guess they had a lot of problems with people poaching via crashing vehicals into deer.

I don't know , but I been told, "Ranch Hand Bumpers" guanties the buck will take the hit and not your truck. And that some of the Red neck bunch will drive off the highway to hit one.

A few years ago during my last divorce I killed a deer with a Corvette. Watched the damn thing fly over the glass top. Only damage was a cracked windshield and a scuff mark on the left rear quarter panel where she bounced off. Pretty sure nowadays with my lifted truck a doe at least would go under during impact rather than square up with the grill.

I don't understand why deer are so stupid when it comes to cars. Yet, they are sometimes impossible to see when you are in their element (out in the woods). I personally believe that most US American deer don't have maps to know where to cross and where not to cross a road.. I believe the deer should help the deer, I mean the elk....

I recently took care of a van vs deer crash in which the van caught on fire after the collision. I had never seen a vehicle catch on fire as a result of hitting a deer.
