Hit by a Deer

[Graham]

I was casually browsing GT40 forums this morning and stumbled upon this forum. I don't usually feel the need to post, but for whatever reason I feel obligated to say this:

Damian, you are a fucking idiot. I'm not saying that in a teasing way... after reading your response to the OP I find myself wondering if you are literally retarded (if so I apologize, but the internet is no place for retards). You take a simple post from John stating that a deer ran into his car, and in turn tell him that he "DID SOMETHING WRONG" and that there is "MORE TO THE STORY."

I feel it is my duty to call you out, as no one else has... you are an amazing internet specimen, a rare hybrid of idiot, duesch bag, conspiracy theorist, handicap, and you have an inverted penis.

Carry on.

Joe,

nice one.... As keith says, Damian is all ours. You can't have him as we'll put up a fight. I need guys like Damian around so that he can bring purpose to my ever so boring life...And he is a pussycat really. Just DON'T get him on the Palestine / Israel question, otherwise all the servers in the world won't handle the number of capital letters that he will employ in his responses.

Anyway, ta ta, off to shoot some dogs, squirrels and a few cats whilst being smothered in 200 pounds of deer entrails...

now, where did I put my gun...

P.S. Did I mention that Damian can take a joke too (just checking Damian old chum ). :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Keith PURRRR LOL. Joe why is it that your first post is this? Well since you went down this road let me help clear a few things up for you in as nice a matter as i can since you obviously have not only bitten off more than you can chew by taking me on but are also one of those people that you tried to group me in with. I have been hunting for oh some 19 odd years (both bow and rifle with some black powder experience) and my experience with tracking deer and recording their behavioral habits is as good as it gets (IMHO). Some of the comments on here about deer being stupid make me laugh as you tards are actually comparing your selfs to a deer; and you call the deer stupid (insert humor).
Here is little lesson (again since some don't seem to read the FACTS POSTED and just like to justify their own irresponsible behavior behind the wheel) for you. Deer will always follow a cleared path (how many times have you seen them in clearings for power cables running up the side of the mountain?). They follow the same paths in and out of the woods UNLESS SPOOKED. Only a true puts would drive faster in a deer ridden area. If any of you have lived in a posted area or one that has been known to have deer frequent it than YOU ALL KNOW THAT THEY ARE THERE. SPEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!! Asking a wild animal to curve its habit to fit your driving needs is well at this point you get the idea.

Now as far as the personal attack goes you have got to be kidding me right? You do not know me, have never gone back & forth with me on here, and have just shown that the best part of you dripped down your mothers leg at birth as is shown by your inc readably enlightening first post. I might rub some on here the wrong way but we handle it on here a bit differently. This is not some adolescent forum that is O.K. with unprovoked name calling. If you have an issue than just I'M me and I will happily send you a ticket to fly into Orlando International and we can "talk" about what issues you many have. I HATE E-THUGS AND WORSE E-PU$$Y'S. Man up or shut up. I may be many things but none of what you posted.

 

[Damian]

Jokes between comrades (as I consider most on here) is one thing. Comments like what was just posted as a first post is something else entirely.

On a side note THANKS GUYS for claiming me. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside :thumbsup: .

 

[Keith]

Deery me! This is getting exciting! :laugh:

Joe,

I'm not one to BUCK a trend, it looks like we have a very insightful new member

I work with a guy that claimed he was driving down the hiway when a big buck ran in front of him, hit the hood ornament which cut the deer open, the guts blew out and the rest of the deer landed in the bed of the truck. He drove to the butcher to have it skinned and cut up for the freeze.

He also told us that his granddad was jug fishing.
Explanation maybe necessary for our friends oversea: We live on the Tennessee River where people attach fishing lines to plastic jug and drop them into the water at night and pick them up downstream later. They can camp out on the river bank, drink beer and tell lies.
anyway back to his story,
His granddad was using 55 gal drum for jugs. He said he caught a fish so large that is was able to pull the 55 gal drum under the water. Someone asked him what he was using for bait. He claimed he was using baby rabbits for bait. They responded "that was cruel." He claimed it was not because the rabbit were retarded. They ask "How do you know the baby rabbits are retarded?" He said "When you put them down they jump backwards."

Mark, I see you're from the UK. In your talk about us being the more highly evolved species and that we should thus give way, you forget that you're talking to an American. Giving way isn't a part of our culture. That's why we all carry guns.

A fair point well made my good man. Nuff said :laugh:

 

[Mark]

As for your comment, Mark...

"Wild animals were there before the roads came along. We are supposed to be the more highly evolved species and with that comes the responsibility to have a greater understanding of our enviroment. (sic) Therefore we should have the sense, awareness and good judgment to give way to oncoming wildlife surely?"......

I was specifically referencing the following part of the post that read...."To clarify, the friggen deer ran into ME, I didn't run into the friggen deer. It was during daylight hours in a 45 mph zone. I even had the right of way! I mean, there wasn't even one of those crossing signs for the friggen deer.

It just made me laugh to think that the Deer should have know it was the OP's right of way, or that if there had been a sign present, that the Deer would have respected the sign and acted more appropriately in the situation.

Perhaps this is an example of the US Vs UK style of sense of humour being somewhat different sometimes?

Eitherway, this is a great thread. I haven't laughed this much since last year >

Driving north in winter in Scotland, from Perth to Aviemore on the A9 it is sometimes impossible to get the deer off the main road. Apparently they are attracted to the salt being used on the road. I recall stopping for a slash going through Drumochter and standing in what I thought was snow with a sliding mud or gravel underneath - it turned out to be a dead hind covered in snow. So many cars end up as wrecks on the A9 when confronted by and hitting fairly large animals and then trying to drive on with trashed cooling systems. I for one have hit deer on 4 occasions, and of those, two survived and went on with their stupid business licking up salt. You can always rely on them to suddenly leap from the roadside into the main carriageway.
By the way, my eldest daughter Sarah just got her first twelve pointer a couple of weeks ago with a single shot up in Caithness. It took several hours of lying motionless in the heather but the range was about 200 yds. and an instant kill.
A really good fish would have rounded off the day but her beau Edward got that honour.
Sounds like a brilliant day out with a bottle of something to keep the midges at bay.

Horace, a friend of mine that raised exotic animals and deer once told me a story about when he sold a deer. The guy came over to pick it up with his truck and a closed in trailer. He paid Horace for the deer. Backed the trailer up to the loading gate of a large fenced in holding area. Horace told the guy not to spook the deer because it would jump the fence and run off. They backed the trailer to the loading gate and the guy walked behind the deer, threw his hands up and screamed. The deer bolted and ran toward the gate and hit a post head on and died. Horace help the guy drag his dead deer into the trailer and leave.

Moral of the story:

Scared deer don't know where they are going.

I wonder if they run into trees in the woods sometimes???

FWIW about 25 years ago I was on a motorcycle ride in the Santa Cruz mountains (above the silicon valley in northern California). I was following a mile or so behind a guy on a Suzuki GSX-R750, and we were going like hell.

A friggin' deer was on a bluff overlooking the road, about six feet above the roadway. As he went past, the friggin' deer jumped off the bluff and crashed right into the side of his bike! :shocked:

It flung his leg off the footpeg and into the air; it tore the footpeg and muffler mount right off the frame, and seriously mangled the muffler. He had a serious Hail Mary moment, and wobbled in a full tank-slapper across the center line, dragging his feet on the ground on the left side of the bike. He managed to keep it upright, slowed down and gathered it up and hopped back on board at walking speed.

He was left shaking his head and wondering how he was going to ride home with no right-side footpeg. I was left wondering how he managed to stay upright.

The friggin' deer was a mess, and got what he damn well deserved! :shout:

I live in fear of hitting a deer in my Pantera; they seem to be chased away by the extremely loud exhaust on my Cobra though, which is nice.

Loud pipes save lives. :laugh:

I work in a city named "Deer Park"! (up-state Washington) There are more deer here now then when the pioneers first got here due to all the mamby-pamby laws. The deer are, as mentioned above, present and about 24 hours a day. We always say, "just strap a set of head lamps on your shoulders with a battery pack" and take a walk through the woods and they will "ram" into you! Driving a GT40 here is a gamble year round. You just have to know the patterns of when they go for water and where they usualy cross. I like the loud noise theory the best, mine is almost straight open for maximum noise................

Alright Damian... so let me take a crack at your response; You have hunted for approx. 20 years (you're probably about 35, guessing that you started hunting around 14 or 15 years old), you've participated in rifle, bow, and black powder seasons (pretty common for a self proclaimed "hunter"). Then you claim your experience "tracking deer and RECORDING THEIR BEHAVIORAL HABITS" is top tier. Not only is this a ridiculous statement to make, it further corroborates my hypothesis that you may in fact be retarded. You are not God damned Bear Grylls nor are you Squatting Turtle the famous deer tracker. You are a fucking recreational hunter who has lived in an area densely populated by deer. No I haven't met you or read your biography, but that isn't necessary to surmise that you are completely and utterly full of shit.

And as far as the "personal attack," I simply saw you're original response and subsequent argument and decided it warranted some good clean (somewhat) fun. Nothing personal, I am only basing my "attack" on your postings in this post and this post only. I am neither an internet thug nor am I a pussy, just an observer who felt compelled to call you out on your ridiculous arguments and haphazard train of thought on the subject of John's deer incident.

Roger that Alan, and as I commented earlier, we OWN Damian anyway, he's ours and we helped train him. Joe, if you want a piece of him you're going to have to pay royalties my friend

Deer suck no matter where you live .
My '84 Z28 was less than one year old and got struck by a deer on the Colonial Parkway in Yorktown , in the middle of the day . Speed limit 45mph , and the deer was must have been on cruse control . Hit my car in the right front tire . Took the right fender , nose , radiator , hood , and went threw the windshield with enough force that the car spun 180* . I never saw it as he came out of the trees .
Then 10 years or so I bought my wife a new car , and a few days later a deer took out the right doors . She said on behalf on the deer that it looked like he was trying to stop , maybe even back-pedaling . If he wasn't speeding down that hillside , he may have avoided it altogether . Actually when my wife stopped crying , she wanted to go back find and kill him .
They taste so good .
Oh by the way , my old boss told me that deer were the reason that dinosaurs don't exist anymore .
They ate them !

Man I love you guys!!! LOL :laugh:

This Sunday I was returning home at 2040 hrs (unloading parts in my building) after depositing my wife's MGTF parts (that had just arrived by truck from KY) ar the shop that is doing restoration. I was driving down our long driveway and as I turned left to go up a slight incline behind our barn out came three deer heading to our pond and pastures. I stopebraked to a dead stop and two leading deer cleared the front of the Durango. The third and youngest deer put its head through the bumper cover in front of left front wheel. Lots of sand everywhere and as I exited the vehicle it shook its head and arose from where it had fallen and took off after it's older kin. This is the price we pay for living in the country were hunters can not really hunt and now have an overpopulation of deer.
I will have the car back tpomorrow with a new bumper cover.
In 1982 a deer took out the right front of my 308 GT4 on Fort Bragg's Manchester road in the early AM just before daylight. That was $4400 in damage and car smelled like all get out. I thought the deer was under the car but alas the guts were in the airducts.
We just have to run the risks that exist in our country and remember still better than any other place. Animals get the first hit without any repercussions except they may have a terrible concussion or in other cases visit their maker.
Fix the 40 and enjoy driving it and pray lightening doesn't s strike twice.

Mort, I have everything in the works to repair the 40. The friggen deer cost me 76 "bucks" for a new mirror. I was going to put on a pair of Talbots before the friggen thing hit me but if I'd had a Talbot there at the time, I would have had severe fiberglass damage. Thus, I'll stick with Californian mirrors just in case the friggen deer have it in for my car.
