Deer are a particular problem in the rural area I grew up in--LOTS of corn fields, LOTS of deer.
No predators.
Unless you count my mother and her Chrysler.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Unless you count my mother and her Chrysler.She does seem rather effective as a predator though. I mean, four for four...
Me too. There are a lot on the roads around here, including the circular one I live on, which has a lot of blind spots.Seriously. Your road seems to be begging for an urban deer. Which ideally would sound much less sarcastic and/or funny. Because there are some seriously unsighted places around you and anything could be in the road already given the surrounding areas.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yep-- I always end up creeping along my road at night, for that reason. On the other hand, about an hour ago, I was getting something from the car, and there was a buck in the parking area, which I got to see close up, and then jumping over the fence that leads to the canyon. That was cool.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Deer are stupid. There's a lot of deer where my parents live. Once I was driving and had to slam on the brakes to avoid a deer. The deer proceeded to run down the road. I mean, right down the middle of the road. I couldn't get around it, so I just had to drive along behind it until it figured out that maybe the road wasn't the safest place to be it it wanted to get away from the big bad Mercury Marquis....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I haven't had large critters around until recently and am now quite skittish about us meeting on the road.
Did I ever tell y'all about the time my mom accidentally whacked a moose on the butt with our front door as we left to go to school?
Cash, I'm glad your mom is okay. Scary stuff, though!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've never had a car vs. deer encounter myself, but there was one long weekend when 4 of my friends totalled their cars on deer in 3 days. Pests. (But tasty, if not allergic.)

Deer hunting season is the worst time for car/deer accidents, as deer are generally running around like crazy and forgetting to look both ways before crossing traffic....

All is well that ends in pizza.
Unless you count my mother and her Chrysler.
No chance it's Christine, is there?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
