Stupid Kamikaze Herbivores












































2 deer. 18 days apart. Same place on the car. The same Jackson County Sheriff deputy.

Mmmmmmmmm...... Fesh venison. Were the deer salvageable or did you inflict too much damage on them?

The first one (an 8-pointer) ran away, don't know how it ended up. 40 mph, probably pretty messed up inside. The 2nd one was totalled (55 mph). Bounced it into the air, hit it a 2nd time, then it was hit by the lady driving behind me. Whatever was left of it was rather mangled.

That sucks. All the damage, none of the meat. Or trophy antlers. And no damage to yourself, we hope.

Jesus. But you're all right, aren't you?

Excrement! This has happend to you before. Any mechanical damage, or only cosmetic? Would it be in your interest to get a wolf-shaped cowling on the car to scare them away?
No injury to you, I hope?

No injuries. No airbag deployment but the seat belt pretensioners fired with the 2nd deer- a nice firm slap by the shoulder belt across the chest, and that lovely smell of burnt pyrotechnic charge.
The boys were with me when we whacked the first one- especially glad there were no boo-boos that time.
