Hmmm... Have you considered hiring her out as a Hunting Guide?

My driving instructor said to swerve to avoid deer if possible, because they can kill you if they come through the windshield. She did say anything smaller than a sheep was fair game, though.

Come to think of it, I was driving a New Beetle at the time, so maybe the rules are different for SUVs :)

That is just bad. Hysterical, but bad.

Or being a terrorist magnet like me... inside the WTC 1993, right across the river on 9/11, now I travel back and forth between NYC and DC, targets #s 1 and 2. Maybe I'll just go to Israel.

I once changed her computer screen-saver and wallpaper to nothing but pictures of deer. Heard the scream from all way downstairs and barely made it out of the house alive. She was NOT amused.

As for being a hunting guide, I think her screaming "oh, my god there's one get it away from me!" would probably be counterproductive.

One of the reasons for the high deer population is everyone wants to take a buck (legally or illegally) so they can have the rack for display. This causes more doe to survive. When that happens the surviving bucks mate with more doe than normal causing a spike in deer population. To decrease the deer population you need to shoot more does.

After hitting three deer -- two within a 12-day span, the last one while riding a motorcycle

That's a shame - I woulda liked to have seen a motorcycle ridin' deer...

Agreed.

The only deer I hunt anymore are on "doe days". I don't need any more "racks" and does are more tender.

I think that if you hit dear with that frequency, you have to begin to worry about your driving...

While my mother was still driving, she took out more deer than most any hunter I know. I once had a deer hit me as I was going down the road. I can safely say that it hit me, because it ran into my right rear quarter-panel. Sounds like venicide to me.

I have a friend who has a deer head that SHE shot abover her bed. A 12-pointer, or something like that. I'm not familiar with hunting terms. :)

Anyways, her bed is next to a window. I'm always joking with her, "I'd be scared to have that above my bed, what if there's a lightning storm? I don't want an illuminated deerhead that I killed looming over me." She said to me once, "Nah, I actually want another [deerhead] to go on my other wall." I kind of paused and said, "You never watched Bambi as a kid, did ya?" "Nope." XD
