This is what happens when the animal rights nut-movement gets hunting banned or made difficult. Too damn many useless deer. If the states won't allow enough hunting, they need to have animal control people kill the damn things. |

Doesn't that really mean too damn many people and they should have people control come out and kill the damn things. Perspective, man, perspective. Give the deer rifles during hunting season.

This is a peak time of year for deer crashes, even in heavily populated areas. i almost crushed a squirrel yesterday, but hitting a deer on a bike would be something...anyone ever?...naw! Not quite, but... a couple years ago I was cycling down a country road with a fair bit of mid-height undergrowth right out to the road side. Not 5 metres ahead of me two deer jumped out into the road, ran across, and with that odd-looking loping gait hopped the brush on the other side. Quite a sight. Deer is something I can never get a photo of, for obvious reasons. -- 'Keep on riding north and west Then circle south and east Show me beauty but there is no peace.' -rush |

I told this story here several years ago. I did hit a deer while riding fast and survived. It was 1 am in July and a full Moon was right behind me. I was coming down off a moderate slope on a paved road and was approaching a deer crossing by a creek. A sports car with a loud engine came ripping around a corner, headed for me. Two large deer had just started across the road from the other side and were fully focused on getting out from in front of the car. Blinded by the Moon, they never saw me and I crunched into the side of one. It rolled up over the bars, wrapped around my chest and shoulders and fell off to the right. I got my feet on the ground and skidded about 25 feet to a stop. I never fell and just stood there, wondering why I was alive. It felt like running into a tackling dummy. I had a little scrape on one leg, but was otherwise unhurt. The bike had only a few bent fixtures on the front, but nothing that affected its mechanics. It is an extra-heavy, all-steel mountain bike, that has a big cargo box on the back, with a total weight of about 80 lbs. I often take it out for a hill-climbing workout, as the weight adds to the exercise. There was deer hair all over me and the bike, but no blood. The deer looked like it weighed about 140 lbs. and died after several minutes. If I hadn't shown several friends the hair and taken them out to see the body, they wouldn't have believed this. It helped that I am a former football player, lift weights and weighed 250 lbs. at the time (much slimmer now). A week later, I was cresting a hill at night and a doe and fawn were grazing by the road. The fawn reacted to my bright light in typical fashion and leaped right in front of me. I hit my brakes hard and stopped a foot short of it. I now have a spinal braking response, every time a deer appears ahead. Another time, I ran over a deer carcase in the dark and went flying. I was so strained, I couldn't ride for 3 months. Dead or alive, they're dangerous. People who ride motorcycles in deer country are probably at the greatest risk. This is one reason my Honda has been permanently retired to the barn. From a deer's perspective, we are the biggest risk. Steve McDonald Oregon |

"Judy Pride Of Aunt Millie's Diarrhea murdered his turd tamper" spewed,
sprayed, and otherwise expelled the following fecal matter: One more reason we need to lower speed limits. Same lives of humans and deer. You're ****ing retarded. The last two miles of my journey in from work each day (I realize the concept of having a job is alien to you, but do try to use your imagination) I have to go through between 1 and 4 small groups of deer. These groups have between 2 and 6 deer. As of yet, I have not hit one, although I am a cautious driver. Note that a lowered speed limit is *not* required to avoid striking deer, and that I avoid impacting them even though I drive over the posted limit. All that is required is a state of alertness and the ability to control your car. That being said, I realize there are a great number of retards in the world who can't bring themselves to focus that much attention on the task at hand, driving, or that don't know their car well enough to know how to control it; you are a prime example of these types of people. It doesn't bother me, though, as your dumb worthless asses keep the auto body shop operators in a booming business. Perhaps a better solution to the growing deer problem would be thinning out the herds, before their numbers grow to be a major problem with not only incompetent motorists, but in deforestation and in attracting the inflow of their predators? Hunting? Nah, too simple and cost effective of a solution for a librul. |

By the way, moron, a better use for the deer than allowing them to become hood ornaments: http://www.schuntersforthehungry.org/ Which, I'm proud to say, I'm affiliated with. You ever done something for someone else, or are you too busy sitting back trying to figure out how to budget your welfare dollar? |
