| 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! |

If he didn't field dress it, I'm not sure it would be any good after sitting out there for 8 - 10 hours. Especially if it's as warm there as it is here. I guess he'll find out. At least he'll have a nice rack! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

| A couple I knew from the archery club I was in hunted and ate deer for revenge. They had hit a deer and it came through the windshield causing severe damage to her face. Several surgeries later she looks pretty well but she hates deer and wants to shoot them all |

Not a funny story. They can do much damage! I bet he was sick about the truck too. But that is really bad that the lady was injured! I thought he left the deer all day too! Weird how we write and interpret things differently. I have smashed several cars. I like to hunt them still. We just dont eat as much venison as we used to. Also I do NOT bring them home if they have been hit. My philosophy on a struck deer is this: "If it looks as bad on the inside as the car looks on the out side I dont want anything to do with it!"

| I still deer hunt, just not as much as used to. Getting one processed as all my older buds have stopped hunting and no longer do we get together for the Cut Up party has gotten more expensive than buying beef or pig. |

| 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. |

Deer hunting is like old tractors-if you keep track of what it costs you won't enjoy it! Oh if I had to choose between gun and bow, I would bow hunt also. ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it!

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 for the guy to have a nice truck like that torn up. I read it as the guy coming back for the truck. That would have been a big deer if he needed a winch to load it and even field dressed it wouldn't be fit to eat after laying out for that long even in cold weather. As for the deer I've got to get busy and get a few for the freezer. I hunt on my own land and butcher my own so all it costs me now is some ammo. But I have spent plenty over the years on stands, game cameras, etc. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| 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. |

| I have taken home several road kill and one suicide deer. The road kill didn't have any more damage than one killed with a shotgun. The suicide deer was caught on a bridge with no place to go except over the rail and hit ice instead of open water. Broken neck. Tasted good |

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?😂😂😂 |

Thad your story only makes me more thankful the same did not happen to me. Had a deer jump off a bank of the road into the drives door of a Ols 88. The door had a good dent but the window held. I was on back road doing about 30 to 35. The deer picked itself up and ran on his way. The funny part was I was taking the car to a body shop to get a estimate on other deer damage with my wife driving.

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. |

I guess deer hunting is over for me this year,. Wed morning I watched a 10 pointer that was in my yard eating acorns and teasing the neighbors dogs that were being kept inside. Pic taken just outside my window, sitting in my recliner while watching election returns. I don't want to hi jack a thread, wanted to let everyone know that no deer were injured while this was happening on my property.

| Deer are in the rut here and seeing dead ones along the roads. Had a nice buck cross in front of me just last week. He stopped at the shoulder of the road and smelt the ground,raised his head and away he goes! Must have been a hot Doe crossed earlier! A hard life,guy goes looking for some sex and gets run over by a car or truck and maybe shot! Of course I read about humans that had the same occurrence happen! |

| 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. |
