From the great OC

In contrast to so many deer strike stories, this newspaper article shows the other side of the story.

Wonder how they would have reported it, had a motorcyclist been involved? Probaby tried to ban the FJR since it is far too dangerous to be ridden where deer abound.

Quality reportage down your way, Jill.

I don't know why, but I find that article absolutely hilarious. Probably because it gives the impression that either the car roamed the forest looking for deer to run down, or that the deer was innocently going down the road when this evil car jumped out from the bushes and ravaged it.

P.S. I hope someone got some good forest rat venison for dinner, or at least the damn thing died. Ah hates me some forest rats, ah DO!

What's wrong, CHP can't afford the bullet to finish it off?

I think they only give each officer ONE bullet, so the officers just argue about who should use their only bullet.

Am I the only one who expected something from our own OC-Fjr, perhaps about Car Tires????

I can only think that it was an extremely slow news day. Geez - if they wanted a well written forest rat story, with graphic pictures they need only have called DCarver. Their effort pales next to what he posted here a while back.

In other news, several billion small insects were killed in collisions with vehicle windshields. Witnesses say they haven't seen such carnage since yesterday!

When I was still a wee one and living out in the boonies, we had a really heavy rain and there was millions of frogs all over the road. My mother was driving me home and all I remember is the continuous pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop of thousands of frogs under the wheels for about 25 miles. It sounded like driving over really big bubble wrap.

*shudder*

Damn funny... and Damn Fine Avatar!

I find it humorous that they were hauling the deer away as if they were going to hospitalize it. I'll bet that was just for show so that no bunny huggers would get upset and file suit if the media showed the officials dispatching the deer on the side of the road. I sure hope they didn't waste taxpayer dollars healing that forest rat.

About the bullets, I have a story. A fellow hunter found a injured deer on the side of the road in WA and called the state patrol, who responded. The officer actually asked my buddy if he wouldn't mind doing the "dirty" work because there would be way to much paperwork for him if he pulled his gun. A quick humane dispatch and it was all over and everyone was happy (including the deer that was no longer suffering).

About the deer on the side of the road, I have a true story. Years ago, my brother hit a deer with his car on his way home from work. The deer was injured so my brother decided he wanted it in his freezer. Waste not, want not and all that. Having no gun or knife with him, he tried to dispatch it with his plastic lunch cooler. Looking up and down the road for witnesses while he beat the deer on the head with a plastic cooler, with the deer making all kinds of loud and frightened sounds, he managed to kill it. He then stuffed it into the back seat of his car and headed home, thinking of venison for dinner over the next few weeks. As he was pulling into his driveway, the deer started to "come back to life" and kick the hell out of the interior. So he jumped out and grabbed a tire iron from his garage, opened the back door and took a big swing at the deers head and missed, punching a hole in the seat. In the end though, he managed to get the deer into his freezer.

I nearly pissed my pants laughing when he told me what happened.

Well clearly the officers are checking for the deers insurance card in the photo........and then as soon as the cameras leave this thing got whacked......lol.....

My good buddy was a wheel in Oregon Fish and Game.......he said the PR bit was the worst part of the job......they rarely used guns for anything, and never in public view. He made the mistake of showing his rifle once on an unruly animal call (elk I think), and the whole town of tree huggers erupted in the local paper..........he never made that mistake again..........
