wife got a deer last night

[Hermon]

She has taken two before with a rifle, but this is her first with HER CAR!!!  $1800...I guess that is why we buy insurance...

Ok just to make sure this was a trad kill.  Is it a stick shift?

Ouch!! Been there and done that, sucks. Glad everybody is ok.

Went to Olathe last night and saw three fresh kills on the way back home. 2 does and a big spike!

Been there and done that

[joe ashton]

now that is another reason to be a hunter,, to help make the highways safer..  Yes, that's it, hunting is a form of PUBLIC SERICE.....

I'm glad she is ok.  I've never hit a deer with a car even though I lived on 2 of the worst 3, 1-mile sections of road in MO for road kills from 1992-1995. However, I adminisitered the coup de grace for many dozens over that span of time that others hit. It is a very traumatic experience for some folks, especially nonhunters--even policemen!

The spot was the highway running through the August Busch Wildlife Area in ST. Charles, MO>

My hubby got a nice 8 point last year.  Hit the side of truck so hard that he droped both antlers on the road.  Then he ran off.  The rack looks nice sitting on a beam in my house.  Too bad the truck did not fair as well as the rack.

Glad she's O.K.Don't feel bad,my wife hit 3 in one year.Never hit one before and hasn't since,but that was a costly year for us.

My wife hit a big buck a few years ago with a new car with 700 miles on it. $1500 in damage but she was OK. The buck ran off and we never did find him.

I almost hit a big 8pnt two notes ago. Real foggy out and he was on the move. Good thing I was going slow! I was in my girlfriends car.  Glad your wife wasn't hurt!

Magnus,
I had to reread your post.

I thought I read: "I was in my girlfriends car. My wife wasn't hurt!"  Yikes!...then I reread it.

[magnus]

Bowwild. Glad you reread that! Lol! Just gave me and my girlfriend a good laugh.

Keeping the Faith!
Magnus

P.S. No wife.

I did the same last week.Nice big doe.Although when hunting with a vehicle, why cant it ever be a small one.

My cousin in Va hit a big ole buck this year 14ptr I think. I say she cheated  and demanded she find Jesus and to bring it back so I could kill it she refused.
Mike I know now why the call you WingNUT.

Lol.. Would've been hard to explain that one!

My wife doesn't hunt but in November she got her second deer in ten years with a vehicle.  Both times the deer ran into side of car as she was driving down the road.

A family friend is the animal officer for a town here in Mass,,,, he has 12 HUGE bucks doing a 1/2 circle across his entire living room wall that where all hit by cars at night!

he said he has 40-50 more that didn't make the wall.
