Got my deer...

[Canucklehead]

Earlier this year i was traveling in the British Columbia interior and came across a total of 12 black bear, 16 moose, and 47 deer!!!. Luckily only 4 deer on the side of the road, never hit anything but with that many spotted on the side of the road it was only a matter of time. The local RCMP must go nuts answering road kill calls......... we got within 3 meters of a mother and her 2 cubs, dumb i know we just pulled up close she looked up and we were gone!!

I've hit a few deer over the years also missed lots too including one close call between two of them while on a snowmobile! . But the most memorable near miss was in the summer of '79 while driving south out of Yellowknife NWT when I just missed a middle of nowhere collision w/ a Buffalo! . I got stopped about 3 feet from hitting him and he glared at me with a look like he was ready to ram me. . In the quick stop, my trusty '74 Chevy van had stalled. . As I fired it back up, the throaty roar from the 4-bbl w/ upside-down air cleaner lid scared him off! . All those years of arguing with Dad over which way the lids should be finally paid off! ~ Pete

Here are the results of a deer slaying in 1972 with my Nova by the original owner's wife.
