That was good. Love it! Not a hunter, but I have respect for hunters.

I was towing my travel trailer one time and a deer ran out of the brush and right into the side of it. By the time I stopped the deer had jumped up and run away leaving a dent in the aluminum side of the RV.

On another trip we were towing the RV through a very narrow cut with high, rocky sides. Suddenly a herd of deer started jumping across the cut right over our heads.

I was following my wife home last friday. She was driving our beautiful, well loved and well used Chrysler 300M 40 feet in front of me and I got to witness a kamakazi Ninja buck dart out of the embankment to her left and slam, full speed, into the side of our car. Wiped out the fender above the front tire, the mirror, put hoof dents in the bottom of the drivers door, and then the deer did an impressive spin to seriously dent the entire back door with his butt.

He stumbled around for a bit, shook it off, and headed back into the woods. Exactly five days before this event, due to the car’s age and mileage, we had removed all but minimum insurance.

That’s why I have become a deer hunter.

I’m thinking of making the car a rat rod with a really nice interior.

Deer are to motorcyclists what sharks are to surfers.

I've had several does run into the side of three different vehicles we've owned. One was stunned for a few seconds before getting mowed down by a motorist behind me.

Back in the late 70s, a coworker called in and said he would be running late. When he came to work, he had a dressed buck (during deer season) in a cooler. It had been running at full speed and hit his pickup. One antler punched a hole into his fender and the buck's neck was broken.

Thanks for the chuckle. I got that in an email several years ago. It is still funny.

Reminds of a story I read in Sports Afield (I think) severl years ago, about a guy who was shot by a deer.

He had shot the deer, and thought he had killed it. Decideed the antlers would make a good gun rack, so he decided to see how his rifle would look on them. The deer was only stunned, revived, jumped up and the rifle discharged, hitting Nimrod in the leg.

One of my acquaintances here tells of the time he looked down to fiddle with the radio and looked up to see a deer standing in the road in front of him. He slammed on the brakes, as the deer scrambled to get out of his way on the asphalt and fell down. The car came to a stop as the deer disappeared below the hood.

He didn’t know if he had hit it or not, but after a few seconds, the deer stood up in front of him, reared up and kicked out the passenger side headlight, and went on its way.

Well, I learned a valuable lesson. In rural Kentucky ALL cars have comprehensive insurance.
