[High Praise! to Freedom Is Just Another Word]
Living in Wisconsin, I’ve had my share of encounters with deer on the road.
Don’t get me wrong, hunters, I understand you want to maintain a certain herd size so that you can go hunting every year, but to me, deer are just mobile road-hazards.
If it were up to me, I’d call for those Hoofed Rats of Unusual Size to be hunted to extinction in one year, never to plague mankind again.
I’ve lost count of the near misses on the road where I live.
But, also, I feel the same way about raccoons. Kill them all. Quietly.
Jiherd!

mmm…. venison on the grill. Of a Peterbilt.
Oh, deer!!
Lions and tigers and
bearsdeer, oh my!@#1 Jimmy, my little girl was the typical “Daddy don’t kill the cute raccoon!” type, as most little girls are. Until the day that a raccoon killed three of her prized young chickens. Daddy was given, in no uncertain terms and using language that made Daddy secretly proud, carte blanche to execute every &$@@$?!!$& one of them, with extreme prejudice. License to kill. Daddy happily complied. Quietly.
Hunting Bambi with a 45-120? Damn, somebody isn’t interested in having anything left for dinner.
Racoons lost their aww cute status when I had to pay the vet nearly $1000 to put the dog back together. I like the EZ-100 tanning kit, two of those raccoons now decorate my desk at work.
If you haven’t seen Louis CK’s bit about deer, you must. Try looking up “Deer Suck”
With all the driving I’ve done over the years, I’ve never hit a deer. I did have one hit me, though. Came bounding out of the woods, jumped a fence, and ran smack dab into the front passenger door on my car. Sh*t all over the side if the car. Then, got up an ran back into the woods. I hope the SOB died.
No 8… Years ago I took my best friend deer hunting on doe days. He used a Marlin in 45-70. The results ae as you described.
10…. An in-law just two years ago was rammed by a deer while riding his Harley on the Blue Ridge Parkway. He was in the hospital six months. A deer is nothing to fool with.
I try to do my part every year to populate my freezer with tasty deer pieces.
