that just makes it easier to throw the little slabs onto the dehydrator!

I'm so glad I've neevr hit anything in a car, I fear the day it happens.

Too bad it wasn't a moose, because then you wouldn't have to pay. You'd be dead.

haha. same just happened to me. $4900 in damage to the new BMW, but almost worth it for the 50 pounds of deer in the freezer.

i killed one last year in my cr-v goin like 40... there wasn't much damage though because the deer basically ran into the front corner of my car, so just a dent. i was pretty lucky but kinda felt shitty bout killin a deer.

well pointless, no, they have good meat. But overpopulated, yes, by far, I did road maintence over the summer, which includes dead animals, and we picked up a deer at least once a week.

And i forgot to add, I've almost hit a deer like 10 times, i somehow stop in time/move. I ran over a dead deer in the road once though. I was driving up to employee orientation for moonlight, and i was half asleep at 6 in the morning driving up and i didnt see the dead body in the road cause it was dark and BAM pretty much hit a chunky speed bump at about 75. Somehow nothing happened to my car.

did you salvage the meat from the deer, or call the jaegermeister?

seriously did you? That would be a lot of good meat to waste.

the deer stop when they see your headlights but you can snap em out of it by beeping your horn, just a little tip.
I live in wisconsin where every deer season we kill like 700,000 deer and they're still all over the sides of roads.

I had a real close call the other night. it was snowing and the deer came out from the left side. There was no way in hell I was going to be able to stop, I somehow got fair enough to the right to miss the thing. It was literally maybe 2 feet tops from the driver side of my car.
