A deer ran over us tonight

Earlier tonight, what appeared to be a 10 or 12 point buck ran over us. It appears to be around $1,000 worth of damage to the very same light and fender as before. This is the second deer in the past few months. Deer are overpopulated in our area and we need "open season" to be extended with higher limits.

Did you get the rack?

We went back to look for the deer which appeared to be around 200 pounds and couldn't find it. My best guess is that it may still be alive, but morning light may help us survey the area better.

The part you don't want to drive through at night.

Sorry, Ritchie, about your misfortune on that. It would be nice to have that deer's head on your wall and brag about how you got him.

Yeah.....but with the damage to the car, who could afford to have the head mounted?

I "encountered" a deer in that part of the country when I was first married. It ain't no fun.

As for overpopulated.......just call Scooter!!!!

Unfortunately some of the most overpopulated areas are the hardest to get permission or legal access to hunt.

I have a friend in IL who knows farmers who have nuisance permits for 30-50 deer per year, as they are trying to cut down the herds, but legally you have to shoot it and let it lay, no one really wants to hunt them just to waste the meat.
