Jan 4th, 2018: Ann Arbor Deer

[monster]

The University of Michigan did allow them into the Arboretum to shoot in the end.

The main problem is not in people's yards, though -that's just irritating- but they are regularly on the freeways and regular roads causing accidents. You hit a deer, you are lucky if you don't get whiplash. And your car is likely to be a write-off -if not from the deer damage (innards in the engine are apparently a bugger to clean), then from the tit who slams into the back of you because they were driving right up your arse. When I drive to work at 5am,, I never drive in the curb lane because the chance of a deer jumping out in front of me is too great.

Last time Pete hit a deer she jumped on the brakes and then hit the gas. She bounced on top of and over the thing. Nice piece of driving really.

I agree up to about 98%. I reckon there's at least 2% that are worth giving a shit about.

Out here (edge of the Cascade foothills), they say "Don't veer for deer." The logic being, trying to dodge a deer on the windey, forested foothill roads in this rural area is a sure way to end up smashing your rig into a tree or plunging down a precipitous gorge.

Down here, we have people killed in accidents with deer. I personally know of 2 wrecks where another veh hit the deer, the deer was launched, ad then it came through the windshield of another vehicle.

Deer taste good. They should permit bow hunting in the city to thin the population. Towns with over population of deer around here issue special permits for the bow hunting.

We have them here too, but they aren't thick enough yet to be a hazard to vehicles. They spread deer ticks and eat gardens though.

They eat everydamnedthing. I planted over 30 rose bushes in my yard when I moved here. Year after year, they eat them down to sticks. They jump the fences around my veg plots and decimate my garden. This past year, they started eating my arbor vitae - which look like lollipops now.

Fuckers.

I have deer going through the yard every day. They cross the road by my house then go 300 yards up to where the land slopes down to the creek with no banking to drink. last summer when it was wet the path they take looked like kids on dirt bikes torn it up.
