Deer season - aarrgghhhhh

[Bonny]

There are deer whistles you can have put on your vehicle but I don't know how well they work?

They don't, really; and they fall off pretty easily.

I used to work with a friend who asked me to let him know if I ever killed a deer with my vehicle. The only time I ever hit one, I wounded it and it probably died someplace, poor thing. It smashed my passenger side in front of the front wheel and did a job on the frame.

Hitting a deer is bad enough; imagine hitting an elk, or worse, a moose!!

Around here they have special grills made to protect their pick ups from deer collisions. Our state is 2nd in deer accidents.

I had a doe run off an embankment along side of my car. When she came off the embankment she took out my side mirror, dented the drivers door, & pulled off a bunch of trim. Her & I were looking at each other as she ran alongside the car. She had big brown doe eyes. I slowed way down & she then got across the road.

Lol, have to add this just for kicks. I stopped for a shrew the other day. Seriously tiny creature. I thought it was a leaf blowing across the road until I got close enough to see that it had feet and was making purposeful movement. I hope it made it across the 3 other lanes.

Oh, goodness, shrew are usually stealthier than that! Thanks for stopping for it!

Both of our vehicles are fitted with bull bars here. Kangaroos get clobbered all of the time, and they do some damage.

Ive hit and killed a moose with my jeep, scary ch!t is putting it mildly.

They need to get rid of the Deer Crossing signs so that the deer will know it isnt safe and cross the road elsewhere.
