DEER SUCK

Wow, I didn't realize deer are so stupid. I would definitely find the dear and eat it if it ran into my car, lol.

 

You guys got it all wrong! It was a Ferrari enthusiast. He just wanted a peak. Can you blame it?

 

wow that is lucky! our saab was broadsided by a dear at about 50 and aside from being really scary we had a new rear passenger door and rear quarter panal!

 

I believe we should have deer season 365...24x7.

Too many deer. Had one run into my now long gone WRX. $460 worth of damage.

Illinois had over 24 thousand accidents involving deer in 2005 (latest data available).

Somebody needs to start a deer burger chain, get rich and reduce the deer population. Really.

 

Wow, you really lucked out. Glad to hear it turned out well for ya. The Wellsboro area sure is beautiful though, but every time I've been through there I def agree that it's like a petting zoo. Some fantastic driving roads up there though & the STPR Rally is well worth the drive from here in MD.

 

Deer do suck!! But it is pretty funny when the fender impales them and they get stuck on the car kicking and screaming...One shot to the deers head trying to avoid shooting car in process from flailing deer...

A total bill of $66 seems pretty lucky. We were participating in a sports car race at Westwood Racewau in British Columbia when the driver of a formula ford hit a deer and the impact killed him, broke his neck. So, these kinds of accidents can be deadly and devastating.

Im sorry about your accident..luckily it sounds minimal.

I dont understand the anger towards an animal though...maybe its people that suck and we should stay out of the animals natural habitat...or at the very least blame ourselves for living in an area filled with them.

 

Deer are the retards of the animal kingdom. I say we let loose Dick Cheney into the woods to annihilate the population.

 

Man, using headlights to spotlight deer ain't supposed to be right

"Call it Bambi's revenge.

Each year, an estimated 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions kill several hundred people, injure tens of thousands more and cause more than $1 billion in vehicle damage.

The Michigan Deer Crash Coalition estimates that one in seven reported crashes in that state involves a deer -- one every eight minutes."

Love the tongue-in-cheek on that one LOL

 

sounds like some people need to get this:

They don't work...

If anyone needs effective help reducing deer populations, I'm available this fall.

 

Driving through DuBois PA in December in the Accord, we hit a deer while doing 80 MPH. The thing went right over the roof, taking out the radiator, AC, and putting a huge dent in the center of the hood. Luckily I was able to drive the one mile to an exit, where a hotel was. Getting the car fixed was an adventure, but we made it.

Deer are not a problem in the Lotus. It goes right underneath them, no problem.

...........call my commute from G.r. to Hickory Corners "Running the deer gauntlet". One morning an eight point stood in front of the `Burb so his harem could cross the road. November is so far away....sigh.....

 

My mom lives in Pa. and she hit a deer and I paid for the damage. My employee hit a deer in a Co. truck and totaled it. Deer ate my garden for 16 years till I quit this year. While I was working out 10 minutes ago a deer was eating my shrubs in my back yard. I hate the things. I say kill Bambi. There are just way too many of them.

 

I'm ambivalent about this- love looking at all the deer in my neighborhood, but they scare the "shirt" out of me when driving. Had a similar experience a few years ago, but not in one of the Ferraris, fortunately- a doe ran right into the side of the BMW and bounced across the windshield, leaving me covered with glass shards (all through my hair, eyebrows and beard), but the car was otherwise unscathed.

 

I'm from central Illinois and I have some die hard uncles who love to hunt...

but there are occasional seasons when they get more with their truck than with their gun.

 

A fox crossed my way very early in the morning 2 weeks ago. Poor fox. I made the damaged spoiler myself from steel and the insurance agreed on the price for a new copy glassfiber gto spoiler and grille and paint, 1770 Euro.

i think it is far more humane to shoot them instead of hitting them. they tried to use the deer shot for population control to help feed the homeless but ruled it in humane.

 

I hit a deer with my truck once....driving in my neighborhood, at 2:00 AM. The deer must have been spooked from an apple tree by a neighbor's yard (all are less than 1/4 acre, so there's no real 'land' for these animals to graze or feed in). Luckily, I was traveling about ten miles an hour - I knocked the animal over, and almost dropped a load into my pants. No damage, and the animal just got back up and ran away....it was funny ten minutes later, though.

Deer can literally double in population within two years if habitat conditions are 'right' - they're like the 'rats' of the forest. Good thing they're tasty/healthy to eat.....

 

For whom? The deer or the homeless.

 

Speaking of retards.

 

In Missouri we have a program called Share the Harvest. Each year I donate at least one deer to this program, where the meat goes to facilities in the area that can use it.
