I've had the damn deer cross the road safely and then turn around directly in front of me to go back where they just came from. This after reaching the other side in plenty of time.What's with that? How can that be a good strategy even if it's a fox instead of a car approaching?
And the culprit doesnt seem to have stopped
My plan includes keeping a sharp knife in my pocket in case I have a field dressing opportunity.While we are in the funnies thread, it is important to consider what you would do with a vehicular/animal collision in advance.
About 50 years ago I hit a deer with my car on a very early morning trip to my favorite fishing spot. I thought I was the only car on the road. Buy the time I stopped my car two guys in a pickup truck had pulled over and one had a big hunting knife in his hand, he looks at me and asked if I was going to take the deer. I replied that I was not going to and he started to dress it on the side of the road. These guys must have seen the deer hit and came out of the near by woods to harvest the road kill.My plan includes keeping a sharp knife in my pocket in case I have a field dressing opportunity.
A friend that grew up with his dad in a butcher shop gets to butcher road kill for the local food pantry from which he gets a share.My plan includes keeping a sharp knife in my pocket in case I have a field dressing opportunity.
I had a deer stop in the middle of the road and look at me for a long time. Road was a bit icy, and I wasn’t in a huge hurry, so I sat there and waited for it to move, but it didn’t. So, I tapped the horn just to get it moving, and it promptly fell down. Pretty sure I cried I was laughing so hard. OK for the funnies thread?This is quickly becoming the no funnies thread.
