I just had to post this. Read it this morning and spit out my coffee!

1. What's he doing over in Turkey?

:P

2. Lucky guy. You're much more likely to hit a deer or moose in NH.

You can't keep the road kill for food either.

(I had a friend who had a deer-car collision on 93, and the cop told him that he couldn't have the deer for meat. Not that he had asked, mind you. ;) )

3. My brother hit a bear near the White Mtn. area...

The car was totalled, but my brother was all right. The bear walked away.

4. The bear didn't sue him? n/t

5. Stranger things have happened. That's gotta suck, though.

All in all, he was lucky. It could've been much worse.

I knew a bicyclist that got a broken hip from hitting a fucking squirrel that came outa nowhere. Bummer.

Shit happens.

:eyes:

6. Wild turkeys are surprisingly bold

I had one stand in front of my car in the middle of a back road. I swear that sucker stared me in the eye before it made its way up a hill--not as quickly as you would think.
