Got my first 8 pointer the other day!
 

[b]Unfortunately it was in my car!!
Caught him with the left front, he went up into the windshield and off the roof, never touching the hood.
When he limped away he was only a 7 pointer!

Ah yes, I get your point! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Glad you are o.k. Glenn. When I was stationed in Bucks Co. it was not if I would hit a deer, but rather when . Fortunately they short toured me and I got away unscathed. Lots of traffic on the SW PA streets and it ain't all cars, trucks, and motorcycles!

[b]Another reason to fear animals!!


The next time you're wading in your third world eco paradise stream or lake,

just remember, your place in the food chain may get re-shuffled.

And what do they call that, there critter? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

That fish really is something else. Could you imagine that thing chomping down on your calf? Or even worse yet, a little higher.

I bet that is from somewhere in the Amazon....did you catch that monster?

Much of central Jersey is overrun with them too. Princeton Twp. is heavily wooded and hunting is banned. The only legal way to kill a dear there is with your car! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Ah, good ole Bucks County!

A friend sent me those shots, it is supposed to be the world's largest piranha.
And I thought the deer were bad!

Re: Got my first 8 pointer the other day!
 

I nailed one with my VW in this area. Luckily I was just at 5mph! Had some hair in the grill. Then a couple of months later I had a buck running right next to my Nova a couple of summers ago. That was scary!

Its an African Tiger Fish and they live in a lake and NO I would never go swiming there but I do know a few folks i would point in that direction with their ater wings

Last week I broadsided a doe at 25-30 mph in the middle of a snow storm. It was night time and didn't see the deer until the lights hit it. We hit about the same time. The deer appeared to keep on going, but I wasn't about to stop in the snow and get myself hit. It didn't look like much damage but the insurance bill is $3500. There was a report that there are about 1000 deer hit each year in our county alone. The deer appear to be in far more danger from cars than hunters around here. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

I have had some close calls but so far so good. I work as an outside salesman in parts and count on lots of deer collisions this time of year and the body shop guys do to... We all just hope it is someone else... Cruel isn't it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif. By the way, that is a sharp Camaro, sorry about the damage. I was told recently that GM quit selling the front spoilers on some of those models so if anyone finds a GM dealer that still has some in stock it may be beneficial to grab all of them up. I find some dealers that throw the discontinued stuff in the dumpsters and some send it back to GM. It gets wasted either way...

There are two less deer in Ia. that won't be running into anyones cars. We'll be having deer sticks at the reunion again this year. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Got my first 8 pointer the other day!
 

I've wrecked three cars here in the last 15 years from deer. All at speeds less then 30mph. They come out of the woods like a fat lady from a cannon. Fortunately we have not been hurt. I must go back to the picture pit to dig up some photos.
