I am pretty sure this was last year, and the baby died.....

Yes, it was Oct of last year, and one of the comments at the link says D-Listed claimed it died, but I couldn't verify that.

We're lousy with deer. Lousy.

It's sad, but there are just so darn many of them.

Yes, we have quite a few here too. I see at least one (alive) pretty much every day that I get in the car. I remember hearing one transplantee to the area talking to another who had more recently moved here "You're going to hit one, probably sooner than later, just relax and get used to the idea".

The only one I've ever hit was hit by the car in front of me first. Jim hit one and killed it, and another just rammed into the side of his car after he stopped for it.

edit: Oh! When i was a kid, my dad brought home a fawn who's mother had been hit and we raised it for while. Didn't end well...

I drive 8 miles on the I94 to the kids' school. Through the outskirts of the city -you know, built up both sides. There's one or two fresh deer corpses pretty much every day. It's a lot more when you leave the city. And they spread a loooong way.

If only they'd ban guns, the problem would go away.

Or we could bring back the mountain lions.

That's right, forgot to mention GA, knowing of 3(?) dwellars at least who live there. We might outnumber the deer. Let's come up with a plan, overthrow them, make them subservient.

My Dad was following a semi that hit 7 antelopes at once on that notorious highway up the center of Oregon out of Bend. He said it was like a strike in a bowling alley - they rained down everywhere.

Being a country boy he stopped to harvest a leg. He said he was shocked to find that all of it was like baggies filled with water. Not even a leg was usable.. Yuck.

Shawnee123 · 06-28-2009, 10:00 AM

Where the deer, and the antelope playyyyyyyyy...aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.

That's my local paper

And St Tiggywinkle's is in Haddenham - a village I spent a lot of time in in my teens as two of my boyfriends lived there. We abbreviated it to 'Nam, which I still find quite funny, although it's a very exclusive private joke now - I tell it to myself and smile.

Just in case anyone didn't pick up on the reference - Mrs Tiggywinkle was the hedgehog in Beatrix Potter and as Limey said it started primarily as a place to bring injured hedgehogs, but branched out into a full wildlife hospital. A friend of mine took a woodpigeon that flew into her window. Sadly, she boxed it inadequately, and it was only stunned. Halfway down the lower road, the pigeon burst forth from the box and clattered around the car, banging into the windows and shitting everywhere. Sorry - this makes me laugh even now.
