i felt sorry for

a dude this morning, he hit a deer just beside our driveway. drove a almost perfect '86 Chevy pickup, was blu and gray, no rust, the wheels just sparkled. he said it was the biggest 8 point buck he's seen this year! also said he had just put a brand new motor in the truck. will hafta replace everything north of the firewall, cept the motor but i'm sure the mounts are broke too. he said he'll never eat deer again! lol  he left it sit til he got back from work, then brought a trailer and had a HF remote control winch on it, winched it right up on the trailer and took it home!

Uh....pretty sure he’s talking about the truck not the deer.

That is where good descriptive english works well!!  A Lead in one direction and ends 180 out!!

I'm having to hang onto the kitchen table I'm laughing so hard,, yup,, I'd say he was talking about the truck, that was funny

Venison ain't cheap no matter how you bag it. Much more enjoyable if you stuck an arrow through it. But I'm all alone now in cutting parties.

4 legged hogs here, cant grow a garden unless it has an 8'tall fence around it. Cant raise corn or beans or hay without 30-50 of them eating on it every night. We didn't see very many deer when I was growing up. Dad said they ate them all during the depression

sorry if i didn't splain it better, yeah it was the truck they winched up on the trailer, someone else claimed the deer after the driver said he didn;t want it, the on scene deputy gave the other guy a road kill permit for it. loaded the deer about 5 minutes after being hit. (was the guy behind the truck that hit it). the deputy was on scene right away, was on normal patrol and about a 1/2 mile away when it happened. a little sooner and maybe the deputy would have got it! we lose around 8-9 deer a year in the 1/4 stretch of highway by my place. once in awhile a turkey will ad to the destruction too.  

True story here y’all.
Back maybe 2003 or 4 I was still driving to the city to work every day.
One morning I was traveling west on hwy 62 just past Pea Ridge Battle field. A spike buck jumped a fence on the far side of the roads his head went through the side window of my 03 GMC. It knocked me unconscious. When I came too I was on the ditch still traveling at hey speed. Got stopped just in time to not run in to sugar creek. Cars started pulling in behind me to see if I was ok. The front legs knocked the windshield clear out of the truck. The deers head was in my lap.
The bed of my tryck literally looked like it got hit broadside by a train.
A guy pulled the deer out of the window. But the door was jammed back in to the cab so I had to get out the passenger side. He called an ambulance but I told him I was fine. He said I was covered in blood. Looked in the mirror and was quite a sight. A lady brought water and towels and started cleaning my face up. I didn’t have so much as a scratch. I did have a sore knot on the side of my head where the deers head hit mine.
Now the funny part.
After it was all settled a coworker showed up to get me. The guy behind me asked if I wanted the deer? I said no. He asked the cop if he could have it? Cop said sure. We helped load it in the trunk of an old Dodge Dart. The guy then told us he had to get to work but would butcher the deer after work. It was early fall and still fairly warm.
Can you imagine?😂😂😂

Similar story:
Got up early one morning to meet a buddy for trip to northeast Iowa. Left the house at 3:30am and just a mile from the house a doe ran out from the bin site and slammed into the right side of my truck. You could make out the entire silhouette from nose to tail in the dust. Door and box side pushed in and pile of poo stuck for good measure. She got up and ran off. Buddy and I were going deer hunting.

Nice looking deer. I don't get to see deer in my yard. Place is too far from good cover.

Sad to think may be a lot less deer taken this year hunting.  Am of the understanding meat cutters are in short supply where many of the local butchers are going to limit the number of deer they accept, just no cooler space and defined not near enough freezer space to store them to that point they can get to them.  Beef kill and process is at an unbelievable set off date in some places up to a year out that growers are told they must have made appointment at the shops.  My own processed beef was close to 90 days and at the weight limit for a shop to even handle, some beef are refused as too large.  Are several neighbors setting their own coolers and killing/butchering their own animals again.

My deer cost me $6000
