Bill, I changed my mind!!!!

Minnesota Deer Hunter.

Like many hunters all over country, they are put down for their activity.

Very much like a neighbor of mine...that is until one night last year.

There was a knock at my door.

 

An elderly lady form down the road was at my door.

It was late.

She needed help, she had hit a deer.

 

I was able to get her car to her home.

I was told that this was the second car and accident in the last 3 weeks.

 

"Are you hunting this year?"  I replied that I was.

GOOD!  I want you to shoot every deer that you see.   I am tired of dodging all these deer!

 

About a week ago, I saw this wonderful lady again.   She told me she still didn't care for hunting, but

realizes that it is needed to help control the deer population.

She  wished me a safe hunt.

 

 

Again, those of you hunting, please be careful and ethical!

We have alot of deer in our area too & every couple of days it seems another car has hit a deer. I understand the need to control the population. Doesn't seem like it's happening much around here though.

Morning William.

It is the season.  Be careful out there, some people shoot then look to see what they were shooting at

I can remember back several years ago, I was driving back to Sacramento one night from Sierra Nevada foothills.  A big ole deer decided to cross the road, and I came really close to hitting it.  I hit the brakes, and spun around a bit, but was otherwise unscathed.

Yes its sad that deer have to be hunted but it's a great way to Cull out the weak and control the populations. So many city folks feed them but in Texas many neighborhood will fine those who feed them. Happy hunting the season starts first Saturday of November here in Texas.

I have hit deer two times with my vehicles in Maryland.  Both jumped into the side of my cars. Be a careful hunter.

In our deer and bear.  We hit a bear traveling home five or six years ago. Killed the bear and our car. Thank goodness we were not hurt.

I had a vehicle totaled by a horse who ran into the middle of the highway. I think the speed of our car was about 65mph and the car (van) was trashed. The horse actually got up and walked back onto the property through a hole in the fence.
