Man, don't have a pistol, 25-06, double barrel 12 gauge, 270.

Your choice.

The police and EMT were at the site. How smart would have be if you seen how long of accident site there was. At a speed of around 60 MPH.

I would guess you would have to be pretty darn smart to calculate the force in an accident you did not see and then apply those calculations to a human body that was flipping down the road. Smarter than me anyway, but that is not saying much.

If you can do that yourself I must say I am pretty impressed. I have seen my fair share of accidents and there is no way in heck I could figure it out. I have a buddy that is a state trooper that does accident reconstruction, I will have to run it by him.

I understand why you are a little sensitive about this, that state you live in is about as nanny as it gets. Remember, insulting another man over the internet from 250 miles away might leave some with a bad impression of your character.

Unless asking you questions and disagreeing with you is an insult, I did not see what you are talking about.

Maybe pistols at sunrise is the answer, do they let you guys have handguns up there in MD? (btw, this is a joke, don't get your knickers in a twist over it)

I had been blind sided by a deer this past August 31st. I had an HD Half Brainbucket. Picked it up at HD dealer for $69. Best $$ I have ever spent.

Too bad those deer don't cross where the deer Xing signs are! Someone on the forum said afterwards that while hunting I am to shot the ones close to the road.
