Flyinfool Posted October 3, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2011 I almost got my first deer of the season this morning. I was on my way to work heading down the highway, and there was a car stopped at the stop sign waiting for me and a few cars behind me to go by. As I was approaching the intersection the car starts beeping it horn like crazy. Of course when you are approaching an intersection and someone is beeping at you you are looking at them to figure out just what the problem is. That took my attention away from my normal scan and that is when 3 deer in single file showed up. They came running out into the road right in front of me from behind a bush and out of the rising sun, that was next to the cage at the intersection. With a good strong pucker, my brakes and dual Bad Boys all got a good workout. Those deer did not want anything to do with whatever was screaming at them and it was a$$holes and elbows as they scrambled to get out of my way. Then I had to get hard on the gas cuz the cage behind me was getting way to close way to fast. Had I come to a complete stop I don't think the cage could have stopped behind me. I did use some advise that I read somewhere that if it is a moving deer, to aim for the deer, cuz it will be somewhere else by the time you get there. It worked this time. After playing this back in my mind, and getting my own underwear extricated out of my backside where the pucker factor had sucked it up, watching those deer scramble on the pavement was pretty funny. My adrenalin is still way up there. If I had been in the truck I would have gotten at least one of them and been having fresh venison tenderloins for dinner tonight. Its always GMC deer season. I hate it when I have the wrong weapon for the job at hand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that'll work as long as you don't KEEP aiming for the deer cause I'm sure you'll hit 'em then! Glad you got out of there with only your undies in a bunch. I had a few cross the road yesterday but they were 1/4 mile ahead and I easily slowed down for them. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddlebum Posted October 3, 2011 Share #4 Posted October 3, 2011 That is what I do with the truck, tenderizes them good. Better yet let the guy in front of you, who doesen't want the dear hit it. That way you get the dear and no damage to your own vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etcswjoe Posted October 22, 2011 Share #6 Posted October 22, 2011 It's hunting season here in SC and they use dogs to hunt deer and I found out today deer do not like dogs, two small deer ran out in front of me today and guess what I had plenty of time to miss the deer but came real close to hitting the hunting dog right behind it. A little while later I saw a couple hunting dogs along side the road and the next think I know a huge buck leaps out of the woods thank goodness I slowed down when I saw the dogs. I also found out the dogs don't like drilled out road kings when you roll hard on the throttle, I have a feeling I made a few hunters mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
