I don't mind seeing dead deer on the side of the road so much. It sucks, but it happens out here often......

Posted by CQ (aka CQ) Aug 19 '09, 10:38

It's when I see a deer in the middle of the road still twitching and moving with its tongue hanging out after she's been hit that bothers me. Ugh.

yeah, a friend used to work for CP rail. they started letting engineers carry guns after (spoilers) - mafic Aug 19, 10:43 7
- a train is about the only thing that wins in an argument with one of them - zork Aug 19, 10:46 1
  - problem is they're too leggy. also, volvo apparently has crash test moose. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 10:50
- yeah, I heard that too. no venison for anyone. -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:44 4
  - I mean, that's perfectly good meat going to waste. Maybe they make dog food out of it or something. weird -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:46 3
    - what you're supposed to do is call the cops (or fish & wildlife or whoever), and they come and take it, and the meat theoretically gets given to - mafic Aug 19, 10:53
    - they probably figure that people will be doing it on purpose or hiding their poaching by running over the carcass -- nm - zork Aug 19, 10:48 1
      - yeah, makes sense, I guess -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:51
call the state troopers, seriously. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 10:39 11
- it's the local police that take of this stuff and a fellow pool guy was calling them. poor thing -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:40 10
  - oh, that's right. WHen I lived in the sticks near Ithaca it was state troopers - loosilu Aug 19, 10:41 9
    - we either have a serious deer issue on our hands, or too many people are moving in and building in deer habitats -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:42 8
      - could be a boom in population. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 10:48 7
        
        I usually blame people for building too close to their habitat. - Krusty Aug 19, 11:00 1
        
        the population can boom in cycles, even with no new houses. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 11:00
        
        it's been crazy the last 4 or 5 years. Last week I saw 2 bucks in a span of 30 minutes. You hardly ever see bucks -- nm - CQ Aug 19, 10:52
        
        more food available last year? or more insects this year driving them out of the trees? -- nm - zork Aug 19, 10:49 3

        no predators. -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 10:54
        
        If deer are living up in trees then we need to be on the offensive. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 10:52
