how in the hell did that

[MichaelHarris]

deer do six thousand dollars worth of damage to my car? If animal control or a freeper hadn't already hauled it off I would go kick it a few times to make me feel better.

1. You should see what a small cow can do to a minivan.

It's not pretty. You have my sympathy.

[MichaelHarris]

6. thanks the good thing about it is

I have full coverage. I usually don't plug a product but Geico ins rocks. They were on it like a freeper on fresh road kill.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. That's good to hear.

Now what are you going to do with all that venison?

[MichaelHarris]

12. I think

a freeper took it to feed the compound in northern Idaho somewhere. You know the one where that OJ cop moved to and does hate radio from.

[tk2kewl]

2. that sucks

I hit one with a BMW R100 motorcycle once. that was fun

[MichaelHarris]

4. that would really make a

bruise somewhere. I know deer are bigger in Washington but this was like Godzilla deer.

[tk2kewl]

11. mine was a whitetail yearling

i survived - he didn't

[MichaelHarris]

14. I remember

when I lived in Texas the deer were pretty small but up here in Washington it's like Meczilladeer.

[tk2kewl]

15. yeah...

i was travelling around the country in 1991. in utah i hit a big friggin mule deer. the hood of my car was blocking my windshield, the radiator was leaking, headlights and grill gone, fenders rubbing on tires. it was bad.

i flattened the hood out with a ball-peen hammer, pulled the dents out with a slide hammer, put silver seal in the radiator, made a grill out of chicken wire, attached new headlights with coat hangers and drove another 7,000 miles or so before i flipped the car in montana.

bought a bug for $200 that i used to get me home and drove for a couple of years before junking it

[MichaelHarris]

16. they say

duct tape can fix the world but I'm a firm believer in chicken wire.

[sui generis]

3. tsk tsk tsk deer hunting should be done with guns, not cars

There sure are a lot of them lately.

Could it be, no natural predators perhaps? Like dis-reintroduced wolves for instance?

[MichaelHarris]

5. they are thick here

this year, I think someone is baiting them along the highway. Damn toothless freeper looking for an easy road shot.

[displacedtexan]

7. An armadillo once ruined the grill of my 1966 MGB.

And the armadillo got up and walked away.

That little drive home from work cost $1000.

[MichaelHarris]

10. pre rubber bumper rocks

I'm restoring one now. I would like to score a MGA soon.

8. Did the deer have a baseball bat?

Because those can do a lot of damage.

[MichaelHarris]

13. he may have had

an uzi because of the assault weapons non-ban.

17. Sorta related...

I had a cursed car once. Hit so many deer with it that one time when I got pulled over and told the cop my name he said 'Oh, your that guy who hits all those deer'.

Example: Driving down road, deer jump in front of car. No suprise there, I'm ready for it so I swerve. And hit the doe following it. :cry:

I probably hit 10 deer with that car. And a moose. And a dog, 2 cats, kill an ENTIRE flock of birds coming over the hill one day (yuck), bunnies (several), 1 turkey, 1 coyote, 1 turtle, etc etc etc

One time a bunny hopped in front of the car, and I managed to stop in time, and what did the bunny do? Just hopped in front of the car four about 1/4 mile. Her I am honking and yelling at the thing and it just looks at me and hops along.

This car must have emited a wonderous enticing light visible only to animals, calling them to be one with the grill.

I even drag raced a moose down the road one time for about 2 miles. Those suckers can MOVE!

Fortuanatly the car was a solid steel american made gunboat, so you could hit stuff and the car would be fine!

[MichaelHarris]

18. did that car happen to have

a "Friends of Wildlife" bumper sticker on it? Maybe they thought it was a nice car and just wanted to meet it. The animals, not knowing alot about physics would get crunched.

[mainegreen]

19. Just a david bowie bumber sticker.

But it was cool, so maybe that was it?

[MichaelHarris]

20. probably for the moose

they are very cool animals and would be attracted to the coolness of David Bowie. I'm starting to see more and more moose in Idaho.

[mainegreen]

21. Living in maine

I see a crapload of moose. Every year at mating season theres always stuff on tv about driving safe and who died yesterday from hitting a moose. The weirdest thing about them is that odd howl they do when they are in heat.

[MichaelHarris]

22. Maine is way up on my list

of places to visit. I bet it has great flyfishing. Also I like to build boats and it seems all the good companies are up there.

[mainegreen]

23. Boats are big up here.

For fishing I would recommend doing a canoe fishing trip on the Allagash wilderness waterway.
