    Hogwash.

    I've killed my share of deer, and ALL of them appeared suddenly within a truck length.

    The book propaganda doesn't always match up with the real world.

    It's not me you have to convince. It's the people who will take a red pen to your DAC.

    Piss on that dac, make the kill and fix whatever needs fixing and move on.

    Im GLAD I got out when the getting was good. No room for mavericks like me to roam wild scaring the poor office types holding that red pen.

    If I were still driving I would not drive for a carrier that charged a preventable for a deer strike. I would quit first then make sure any new carrier knew the ######## reason for the preventable and why I left the job. There is a line in the sand and this is mine.
