Hitting Deer or Other Animals

Why were your shorts in The Dalles, instead of covering your frontandrear?

 

ooooh! ka-ZING!

 

I was going to ask about this subject when i found this thread

as the deer around here , ( Wisconsin ) have some sort of death wish , it seams there motto is ( IT"S A GOOD DAY TO DIE ),

and i just wondering on if your a new driver what the company's would say ,

I know when i was out here for 5 years i made the mistake of saying one day i cant believe all the people that hit deer out here , they must be just not watching what there doing ,, ( big mistake ) that evening i hit a huge buck with my silverado , (2200,$ ) front end 2 weeks later doe in my car , 6 months later truck coming home last day of deer season and hit 3 at one time ,( they was running from hunters ) took out the front end again along with the radiator and new tranny cooler ,hood
3500$ this time ,, so needles to say , never i mean NEVER say I never hit a deer lol trust me

so can you put a deer guard on your truck ? to minimize the damage
i know all the sheriffs cars have them on ,,

 

If a deer comes out in front of me, we're gonna have diesel-tenderized venison all over the road.....
As for what the companies would say, I've actually been told by a few companies that "you are to take the animal out." If you swerve or panic brake, you just made a whole lot bigger mess than you would have by hitting the deer.

 

I have never heard of a company allowing anyone to put deerguards on their trucks, in fact I put deer whistles on my truck when I used to work for maverick and they removed them.

 

I know i seen a few local tree guys have them on there own trucks ,

but i thought i would ask any way

 

We don't have deer guards in south central, AK cuz there are no deer, we do have Moose guards on the front bumpers, because a moose will severely damage your truck if you do hit one.

If a moose is hit, we are required to call the state troopers; they will come down make a report and get someone down from the charity list to clean it. Moose that are hit by vehicles become dinners for the less fortunate. I wouldn't mind being on the list, I'll take moose meat any day over store bought beef.

 

Oooo
I wouldn't want to eat any animal that has been hit by a vehicle
There are just certain internal body parts that break open and taint the meat
Yuck
