For those who don't hail from the land of corn-fed deer, that's whatwe call 'em in SW Iowa. After spending six weeks in a sling last year (T-tear rotatar cuff - swerved to miss one), I'm fed up with my regular encouters with these bastards. Hell, they come out in broad daylight anymore. Anyway, me and Tucker don't hunt deer - kinda like shootin' a large dog to us; we can do that from our porch, wepreferupland birds,they fly and change directions.

Anyway, it was time to repaint theBoogie Ranch and I decided I would make me a little good luck shrine to keep me safe in the hills... you can get away with stuff like this when you don't have neighbors ...

Oh yeah,I should mention, thisWAS Old Style-induced; (the wife was really impressed; right)first full-week of vacation in the last12 months - Me andSwoop_In have beed busy building Ethanol plants to keep your cages happy!

have you tried a deer whistle?

 

Deer vs. truck = Rough

Deer vs .Car = Bad

Deer vs. Bike = Is my will up to date?

We have these mindless bags o' guts all over Missouri too. I dont hunt 'em anymore and I like eatin 'em but I sure do watch for 'em. when I am out on my bike. A deer whistle might work or a couple of good revs if you see it before it targets you. Heh
I have heard that it is better though to hit one of 'em, even on a bike then trying to avoid

 

I'm from Missouri and have hit a deer in a car. Nothing serious but the crazy thing was I saw it long before I hit it and even though I had long since layed on the brakes it kept coming out to the middle of the road, like it wanted to get killed.

 

I hit 3 of those nasty little road GOATS in 18 mo. Period, Its been about 8 months since the last one it was a 8 point buck and the B-strd was full speed when he hit my passenger side on my company truck which only had 7K miles on it. Im thankful though I never hit one on my bike (man i hope i didnt just jinx myself). NICE way to dress up the HOG PEN Boogie

 

so know you ride your barn???? yep that will scare the deer for sure. i had to, couldnt resist

 

Reading some of these posts (and laughing my a$$ off) reminded me of an incident about 13 years ago when I was driving in my car to a job interview in central Missouri. Just like in Drex and Swoops case,I could see the stupid C0(K-sucker up ahead of me standin next to the side of the road. Him and another one of equal intelligence then decided to cross in front of me and play musical traffic lanes. Well I missed them both once but the really smart one described above decided to run into me.
Destroyed the left side of my Chev. Beretta.I was so mad er... concerned... that when I got stopped I went over and emptied a .38 revolver in him. (To ease his suffering of course) Afterloping another 80 miles on a cut tire from his hoof and no right side rear view mirror from his jaw, I made the interview and still didnt get the friggin job. I had about 1000.00 damage to the left side of my car as a result.
Be safe out there.

Correction...
....it was the left driver door rear view mirror, the left front tire, the left front fender, the left side drivers door, the left side... well you get the picture
